Republished from a clean root: the compiled artifact is gone from history, and the local line of work joins the sanitized public line

Browse Source 
The public history carried kat/__pycache__/mlkem768_reference.cpython-314.pyc,
a compiled Python artifact embedding the operator's absolute local path. Text
secret scanners do not read compiled binaries, which is exactly how it slipped
through, and removing it from the tip would have left it reachable through the
old root commits. So this repository is republished from a single clean root.

This root also carries, from the previously unpublished line of work:
- corrected LICENSE year, LICENSING.md, VERIFY-POLICY.md, and
  CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md remeasured 2026-08-11 (101 paths, README aligned)
- O-018: run_consensus_verification.py ran 19 of 29 models and reported PASS;
  it now runs all 29, and computemarket_smt.py gains resolveByTimeout /
  reclaimUnsettled cases plus a negative control
- O-006: the word 'audited' removed from next to Bouncy Castle, twice, after a
  concurrent edit resurrected it
- O-014: prior art named and dated - Algorand's native falcon_verify shipped
  about ten months before AERE's precompiles; the primacy claim is withdrawn
  where it was implied
- bench/ scripts parametrized so they actually run for an outsider (the
  earlier textual sanitization left $STAGING unexpanded inside Python strings)
- AIP-2/AIP-3 errata with measured figures, spec remeasurements at 2026-08-01,
  and the spec-zk-stack retractions (owner is an operational key, not the
  Foundation; 'maximally sound' withdrawn; aggregator V1 deprecated)
The redacted bench-host environment files from the sanitized line are kept
exactly as published; the unredacted local variants are not carried.

# Citations in this repository that you cannot open
This file is generated by the legaturi-repara.cjs script in the Aere working tree and
enforced by legaturi.cjs. It is the complete list, measured on 2026-08-11, of every
path cited in this repository that does not resolve to a published file.
A citation is a promise that a claim is checkable. Where the target is not published,
the claim is traceable but **not independently verifiable by you**, and it should be
read as our assertion. Nothing was deleted to produce this list: every path below is
still cited in the text exactly as our authors wrote it.
Paths that DO resolve are written relative to a side-by-side checkout of the Aere
repositories, so they begin with a repository name, for example
`aere-contracts/contracts/pqc/AereCryptoRegistry.sol`.
Unresolvable distinct paths in this repository: **101**.

# aerenew/pqc-fork - AERE Besu PQC EVM precompiles
Two new native post-quantum precompiles for the AERE Besu PQC fork, built and
KAT-verified on an isolated testnet (2026-07-18). They extend the existing five
(`0x0AE1`..`0x0AE5`). Full write-up: `../docs/PQC-PRECOMPILES-MLKEM-SHAKE-2026-07-18.md`.
| Address | Precompile | KAT |
|---|---|---|
| `0x0AE6` | ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) deterministic encapsulation | 25/25 NIST ACVP |
| `0x0AE7` | Falcon HashToPoint (SHAKE256 rejection sampler) | 12/12 (BC vs Python SHAKE256) |
Headline benchmark: native HashToPoint drops a full on-chain Falcon-512 verify from
~9.14M to ~7.19M gas (-21.4%); the HashToPoint step itself drops ~86% (2.28M -> 311k).
## Layout
* `precompiles/*.java` - the two fork EVM precompile classes.
* `besu-pqc-precompiles-mlkem-hashtopoint.patch` - fork -> fork+2 (4 files). Base
commit `d203201`. Adds the two `Address` constants, registers both in
`MainnetPrecompiledContracts.populateForFutureEIPs`, and adds the two classes.
* `kat/` - KAT harnesses: NIST ACVP fetch + ML-KEM runner, HashToPoint generator +
Python SHAKE256 oracle, and a Bouncy-Castle decaps-confirmed ML-KEM backup generator.
* `bench/` - the precompile-backed Falcon verifier variant + gas benchmark (QBFT
single-node genesis, `make-htp-variant.py`, `bench.py`).
* `vectors/` - the exact vectors used. `results/` - JSON pass counts + gas numbers.
* `setup-fork.sh` / `build-dist.sh` / `run-kats.sh` - reproduce the isolated build.
Solidity view wrapper for `0x0AE6`: `../contracts/contracts/pqc/AereMLKEM768.sol`.
## Reproduce
```
bash setup-fork.sh # clone besu@d203201, overlay fork EVM layer, add 2 precompiles, emit patch, compile evm
bash build-dist.sh # ./gradlew installDist (one full build)
bash run-kats.sh # ML-KEM (NIST ACVP) + HashToPoint (Python cross-check) KATs
bash bench/start-node.sh && python3 bench/bench.py # Falcon verify gas with/without 0x0AE7
```
## Scope / honesty
BUILT + KAT-verified on an ISOLATED single-validator QBFT testnet only. Mainnet
precompile activation on chain 2800 is founder-gated and out of scope. Live chain,
validators, gold binary, and infra were touched read-only only.

# aere-research
Formal verification models, post-quantum cryptography reference implementations, known-answer
tests (KATs), and research specifications for Aere Network.
This repository is the "prove it yourself" half of the Aere Network verify-yourself core. It lets
a third party re-run the machine-checked proofs, re-derive the cryptographic reference vectors, and
read the research that underpins the protocol, without trusting any claim on faith.
## Scope, stated up front
Aere Network runs post-quantum signature verification natively on mainnet: Falcon-512 (`0x0AE1`),
Falcon-1024 (`0x0AE2`), ML-DSA-44 (`0x0AE3`), SLH-DSA-128s (`0x0AE4`) and SHAKE256 (`0x0AE5`)
have been live as precompiles since block 9,189,161. You can call them yourself against
`https://rpc.aere.network` without asking us for anything.
**Consensus on chain 2800 is classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT.** The post-quantum work lives at the
signature, precompile, account and transport layers. Nothing in this repository makes the consensus
post-quantum, and nothing in it should be read as claiming so. Where you see post-quantum consensus
discussed, it is research about what a future activation could look like, not a description of the
running chain.
Two further limits worth knowing before you judge anything else here:
- `0x0AE6` (ML-KEM-768) and `0x0AE7` (Falcon HashToPoint) are **testnet only**. They are not
active on mainnet.
- The on-chain zero-knowledge verifiers are classical BN254. They are broken by Shor's algorithm
like any other elliptic-curve construction, and we do not describe them as quantum-safe.
The network is operated by seven Foundation-run validators, so its Nakamoto coefficient is
effectively one today. That is a real limitation, it is on the roadmap, and it is not fixed by any
code in this repository.
Two more limits, both of which cut against claims made in this repository:
- **Some citations point at files we did not publish, and you cannot open those.** MEASURED
2026-08-11: 101 distinct cited paths in this repository do not resolve to any published file. All
101 are listed, with the documents that cite them, in `CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md`, and that list is
enforced by a check rather than maintained by hand. A claim supported only by such a path is our
assertion, not something you can independently check. Citations that DO resolve are written
relative to a side-by-side checkout of the Aere repositories, so they begin with a repository
name. See the fuller note in the `aere-docs` README.
- **AERE is not deflationary today.** The burn mechanism is live and immutable, and it has burned
approximately 0.137 AERE in total against a 2.8 billion fixed supply, because the burn is a
percentage of validator coinbase revenue and that revenue is currently zero. The percentages in
`research/specs/spec-flywheel-economics.md` are conditional rates on future revenue, not
descriptions of present token destruction. Check it yourself with one `eth_getBalance` call
against `0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6`.
## Layout
- `formal-consensus/` Z3 / SMT models of consensus and contract safety properties (30 Python
models plus a Quint spec `FalconQuorum.qnt`), driven by `run_consensus_verification.py`. These
cover QBFT safety and liveness, the money-contract invariants, and a PROPOSED hybrid
dual-quorum activation that is modelled research and is NOT running on chain 2800, and the
invariants. `CONSENSUS-VERIFICATION-2026-07-12.md` documents the results.
- `pq-stark/` reference implementations and self-tests for the STARK verifier port: BabyBear field,
Poseidon2, MMCS, FRI, the Fiat-Shamir challenger, and AIR quotient logic. Each component ships a
Python reference, a JavaScript (`.mjs`) reference, a Java self-test, ground-truth JSON vectors, and
a spec. The `*-extractor/` directories are small Rust reference extractors (source only). This is
reference and test material, not key material.
- `precompiles/` Java sources for the post-quantum EVM precompiles (ML-KEM-768, Falcon
HashToPoint, SP1 STARK verifier).
- `kat/` and `vectors/` NIST ACVP and Falcon known-answer test vectors and their generators.
- `pq-finality-circuit/` XMSS verify-core reference (Rust source) for the post-quantum finality
circuit.
- `bench/` and `results/` benchmark harness and recorded KAT / benchmark result JSON.
- `aips/` the Aere Improvement Proposal process and the accepted AIPs.
- `research/` research notes and long-form specifications (`research/specs/`).
## Verify
The formal models run with Python 3 and z3:
```bash
cd formal-consensus
python run_consensus_verification.py
```
The STARK references are cross-checked against their ground-truth vectors; see each
`spec-*.md` and the `test_*.py` files. Full commands and expected outputs are in the `aere-docs`
repository (`REPRODUCE.md`).
## What is deliberately not here
No private keys, no validator or Foundation key material, no infrastructure hostnames or
credentials. Heavy prover runs must be executed on a throwaway non-infrastructure machine, never on
production infrastructure.

# The `[VERIFY]` marker: what it means in this repository
**Status:** normative for every Aere Network repository published on `git.aere.network`.
**Written:** 2026-08-03. Supersedes the earlier wording that described these markers as items
"for a human to confirm before publication".
---
## The rule, in one paragraph
A `[VERIFY]` or `[VERIFY: ...]` marker is a **permanent, deliberate disclosure that one named fact
is NOT MEASURED**. It is published exactly as it stands. It does not block publication. It is closed
in exactly one way, by a measurement that settles the named fact, and the closing measurement is
written down next to it. **A marker is never closed by deleting it**, and it is never closed by
softening the sentence around it.
## Why the earlier wording was wrong, and how
Three documents in this bundle used to say that these markers were flags "for a human to confirm
before publication" or "before publishing":
- `AERE-EIP-COMPATIBILITY-MATRIX.md`, the "How to read this" list and the open-flags heading
- `AERE-NIST-VALIDATION-STATUS.md`, the Appendix A heading and one marker body
- `AERE-PROTOCOL-SPECIFICATION.md`, the honesty conventions list and the Section 11 register heading
That sentence was not true. These repositories were published on 2026-07-20 with **263** exact
`[VERIFY]` markers still open across **83** files (measured 2026-08-03 against the published trees,
not against a working copy). A document that says its unknowns will be resolved before publication,
and is then published with the unknowns in place, asserts more than was done. That is the same class
of defect the markers exist to prevent, one level up: **the honesty convention itself was making an
unmeasured claim.**
The repair was to make the text match the practice, not to make the practice match the text. Deleting
243 disclosures so that a grep would come back empty would have removed real information from readers
and replaced an honest document with a quiet one.
## Why publishing open unknowns is the right choice here
This is the same reasoning already recorded in `KNOWN-ISSUES.md` in `aere-contracts`, where our own
test suite's findings are published deliberately, with status attached. Publishing a finding is
useful. Publishing it with no status was the oversight, and the fix was to add status, not to remove
the finding.
The prior art we followed is the Rust RFC process, where every RFC carries a mandatory
"Unresolved questions" section, so the unknowns of a design are an enumerated, permanent part of the
published document rather than something that disappears at publication time
(`https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/0000-template.md`).
The prior art we deliberately did **not** follow is the common docs-CI habit of failing a build on
the literal string `TODO` (for example a Vale `existence` rule at `level: error`,
`https://docs.vale.sh/topics/styles`). That rule is right for a marker that means "I have not
finished writing this sentence". It is wrong for a marker that means "this fact about a live chain
has not been measured", because the only thing it can force is deletion, and deletion here is a lie.
It is worth noting that GitLab, which runs one of the more thorough public documentation pipelines
(Vale, markdownlint, link checking, Mermaid validation), does **not** gate on placeholder markers at
all (`https://docs.gitlab.com/development/documentation/testing/`).
## What is actually enforced
The guard is `aerenew/scripts/deschise/flaguri-verify.cjs` in the private working repository. It is
not a marker ban. It checks four things, and it distinguishes "measured and wrong" from
"could not measure":
1. **No document may promise that markers are closed before publication.** The forbidden phrasings
are matched across line breaks, because a sentence split by a line wrap is the same sentence.
2. **Every published repository that carries at least one marker must carry this file at its root.**
A marker whose meaning is only defined in some other repository is undefined for the reader who
found it.
3. **The count is tracked, never asserted.** Markers are counted in both forms, `[VERIFY]` and
`[VERIFY: ...]`, and compared against the recorded snapshot below. Silent drift fails.
4. **The published surface is measured over the network, not from disk.** A working copy is not
evidence about what the world can read. If the network cannot be reached, that half of the
measurement reports NOT MEASURED and never reports green.
## Recorded snapshot
This file is excluded from every count below and from the guard's own counting, because it defines
the marker rather than carrying a disclosure. Counting the definition would make the number grow by
writing the rule down.
Working tree of `aerenew/publish-bundle`, measured 2026-08-03:
| Repository | `[VERIFY]` exact | `[VERIFY` any form | Files carrying a marker |
|---|---|---|---|
| `aere-contracts` | 8 | 16 | 10 |
| `aere-docs` | 177 | 226 | 46 |
| `aere-node` | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `aere-research` | 60 | 69 | 19 |
| **total** | **245** | **311** | **75** |
The `aere-research` row moved from 66 to 69 markers across 18 to 19 files on 2026-08-03, and the
reason is written down rather than absorbed: finding O-014 added a related-work section to
`research/pqc-onchain-verification.md` carrying three new `[VERIFY: ...]` disclosures, for the
Algorand state-proof activation date, the Algorand consensus v41 mainnet activation date, and the
absence of a systematic prior-art survey. The count rose because three unmeasured facts were
disclosed that were previously not disclosed at all. That is the convention working, not drifting.
Published trees on `git.aere.network`, cloned and measured 2026-08-03
(`aere-docs` at `58780bd`, `aere-contracts` at `c0fcf3d`, `aere-node` at `48416df`,
`aere-research` at `37f55e4`, all four commits dated 2026-07-20):
| Repository | `[VERIFY]` exact | `[VERIFY` any form | Files carrying a marker |
|---|---|---|---|
| `aere-contracts` | 8 | 16 | 10 |
| `aere-docs` | 171 | 224 | 46 |
| `aere-node` | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `aere-research` | 84 | 92 | 27 |
| **total** | **263** | **332** | **83** |
The two tables do not agree, and that disagreement is itself a finding rather than an error in the
counting. The working copy and the published repositories have drifted apart in **both** directions
since 2026-07-20: the working copy holds 21 files that were never published (including
`KNOWN-ISSUES.md`, `LICENSING.md`, `CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md`, `RUN-A-NODE.md`, `genesis.json` and
`bootnodes.txt`), and the published `aere-research` holds 33 files under `formal-consensus/` that no
longer exist in the working copy. Any future publication has to reconcile that first, because a
naive re-stage and force-push would silently delete 33 files that are public today.
## For a reader who is not us
If you found a `[VERIFY]` marker in one of these documents: it is there on purpose. It marks the
exact boundary of what we measured. Everything around it is intended to be literally true, and the
marker tells you which specific claim we could not stand behind on the date the document was written.
If a marker matters to you, the fastest way to close it is usually to measure it yourself against
the public endpoint, and we would rather you did that than trust us.

# AIP-1: AIP Purpose and Process
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | 1 |
| Title | AIP Purpose and Process |
| Author | AERE Foundation |
| Type | Meta |
| Category | (none) |
| Status | Living |
| Created | 2026-07-11 |
| Requires | None |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Abstract
This AIP defines the AERE Improvement Proposal process: what an AIP is, the
statuses it moves through, the categories it can carry, the required sections,
and who ratifies it. It is a Living document because the process will change as
the network decentralizes.
## Motivation
AERE ships changes to a live chain (chain ID 2800) and to a growing set of
contracts. Without a single canonical record of why each change was made, that
history lives only in commit messages, in the SDK address registry, and in the
memory of the people who shipped it. An AIP process fixes that. It gives every
change a stable, plain-text home that states the motivation, the exact mechanism,
the on-chain proof, and the honest limitations. It lets an outside auditor,
integrator, or automated agent reconstruct the design of the chain without asking
anyone.
It also forces discipline. Writing the Specification and Security Considerations
sections before (or, for retro-filed AIPs, immediately after) shipping surfaces
weak assumptions early.
## Specification
### Roles
- **Author.** Anyone may author an AIP. The author writes the document, drives it
through the statuses, and answers review questions.
- **Editor.** The editor checks that an AIP is well-formed, correctly numbered,
correctly categorized, and technically coherent, and that every cited address,
transaction, and number is real. The editor does not judge whether a proposal
is a good idea; that is the ratifier's job. Until decentralization the editor
role is held by the AERE Foundation.
- **Ratifier.** The party whose approval moves an AIP to Final. Until
decentralization this is the Foundation account
`0x0243A4f47D44b40b65D33f20329dE20D00c6f3C3` (a single-key,
Foundation-controlled account, not a deployed multisig). See the governance note
below.
### Statuses
The normative lifecycle is `Draft -> Review -> Last Call -> Final`. `Living`
replaces `Final` for standards that keep evolving. `Withdrawn` and `Stagnant` are
the off-ramps.
- **Draft.** Well-formed, has an author, may change substantially.
- **Review.** Author has requested wider scrutiny; open questions are tracked in
the AIP.
- **Last Call.** A stated final-review window (default 14 days). If no blocking
issue is raised, it advances to Final or Living.
- **Final.** Accepted. For shipped work, live on chain 2800. Breaking changes
after Final require a new AIP that supersedes this one.
- **Living.** Accepted and expected to keep being updated.
- **Withdrawn.** Abandoned. Terminal, but the number is retired, not reused.
- **Stagnant.** Inactive in Draft or Review beyond 6 months. Revivable by any
author.
Retro-filed AIPs enter at Final or Living and state in their Abstract that they
document a change that already shipped.
### Categories and types
Types are Standards Track, Meta, and Informational. A Standards Track AIP MUST
name exactly one category:
- **Core**: consensus, block production, fee and burn accounting, precompiles,
genesis and client configuration.
- **Networking**: peer-to-peer protocol and sync.
- **Interface**: contract interfaces, ABIs, RPC conventions, verification
surfaces.
- **ARC** (AERE Request for Comment): application and token standards (for
example ERC-20, ERC-4626, ERC-4337, ERC-6551 conventions as adopted on AERE).
- **Meta** and **Informational** carry no category.
### Numbering and format
- AIPs are numbered by monotonically increasing integer. AIP-1 is this document.
- Each AIP is a single Markdown file named `AIP-N.md`.
- Each AIP MUST contain the sections in `aip-template.md`: Preamble, Abstract,
Motivation, Specification, Rationale, Backwards Compatibility, Security
Considerations, Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment, Copyright. A
section that does not apply is kept with the body "None".
### Sourcing rules (binding on all AIPs)
- Every on-chain address MUST be copied verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`,
the canonical registry. No address may be guessed. If unsure, omit it.
- Every gas figure, transaction hash, and block number MUST be reproducible from
the chain or from a repo fixture. Unmeasured quantities MUST be written as "to
be measured", never invented.
- Design ceilings (for example a theoretical maximum throughput) MUST NOT be
presented as measured throughput.
### Ratification and the decentralization path
Today, ratification is editorial: the Foundation approves an AIP and, for a
Standards Track change, ships it. This is honest and is labeled as such on every
pre-decentralization AIP. It is not stakeholder governance and does not pretend to
be.
The intended migration, each step of which will be its own Meta AIP:
1. Open the validator set beyond the current seven Foundation-operated
validators, and run a second client implementation.
2. Introduce a public review period with standing that the Foundation cannot
unilaterally shorten.
3. Move ratification to stake-weighted or validator-weighted approval once an
independent staker and validator base exists.
Until step 3, all Standards Track AIPs carry
**"Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization)"**.
## Rationale
The process is deliberately close to Ethereum's EIP/ERC model because AERE is
EVM-equivalent (Pectra plus Fusaka) and builders already know that model.
Copying its status names and section structure lowers the cost of contributing.
The one deviation worth calling out is the explicit, up-front honesty about
governance. Rather than dress editorial ratification up as decentralized
governance, AIP-1 names the current reality and the path off it. Credibility with
technical readers comes from stating limitations plainly, not from hiding them.
## Backwards Compatibility
None. This is the first process document.
## Security Considerations
The chief risk in a pre-decentralization process is that a single party can both
author and ratify, so an AIP can be waved through without genuine review. This is
mitigated only partially today, by the editor's sourcing rules (every address and
number must be real and reproducible) and by keeping the honesty label on every
proposal. It is not fully mitigated until independent ratifiers exist. This
weakness is stated rather than hidden, which is itself part of the mitigation.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
Not applicable. This AIP is the process. The scaffold lives at `aerenew/aips/`
and consists of this file, `README.md`, `aip-template.md`, and the retro-filed
AIPs AIP-2 through AIP-7.

# AIP-2: Coinbase Fee-Burn Routing (37.5%)
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | 2 |
| Title | Coinbase Fee-Burn Routing (37.5%) |
| Author | AERE Foundation |
| Type | Standards Track |
| Category | Core |
| Status | Final |
| Created | 2026-07-11 |
| Requires | None |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Abstract
This AIP documents the on-chain mechanism that makes AERE's burn real and
auditable: an atomic splitter that routes a validator's accumulated coinbase
rewards so that a fixed fraction, 37.5% by default, is sent to a permanent burn
vault and the remainder is returned to the validator. It is a retro-filed record
of a change that is already live on chain 2800.
**Realized burn to date, MEASURED.** The mechanism is live and the vault is
immutable, and it has burned essentially nothing. `eth_getBalance` on the burn
vault `0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6` returned
`0x1e7f974e119aaa7` at block 10,571,949 on 2026-07-20, which is
137,352,594,046,167,719 wei, or 0.1373525940461677 AERE, against a fixed supply
of 2,800,000,000 AERE. The reason is arithmetic: the burn is a percentage of
validator coinbase revenue, that revenue is currently zero, and a percentage of
zero is zero. The 37.5% in this document is a conditional rate on future
revenue. AERE is not deflationary today. Verify with one RPC call.
## Motivation
The AERE whitepaper (Section 3.3) states that up to 37.5% of transaction fees are
permanently removed from circulation. That wording predates the implemented
mechanism and is superseded: what this AIP specifies, and what is live, is a cut
of the VALIDATOR COINBASE REWARD, not of transaction fees. The
validator-reward-cut description governs everywhere the two conflict. On a
Hyperledger Besu QBFT chain there is no
protocol-level base-fee burn of the EIP-1559 kind: QBFT credits fees to the block
proposer's coinbase rather than burning any part of them at the consensus layer.
So the whitepaper claim needed an explicit, on-chain mechanism, or it would be
just a claim.
The goal was to make the burn (1) measurable in a single on-chain read, (2)
impossible for the routing contract to steal or divert, and (3) verifiable by any
third-party explorer or analyst against the whitepaper.
## Specification
### Contracts
- **AereFeeBurnVault** at `0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6`. A
stateless sink. It accepts native AERE via `receive()` or `burn()`, and any
ERC-20 via `burnToken()`. It has no withdraw function and no admin. Value that
enters is removed from circulation. It exposes `sweepToZero()`, callable by
anyone, which forwards its native balance to `address(0)` (QBFT Besu permits a
send to the zero address, after which the value is unreachable). Counters
`totalBurnedAERE` and `totalSentToZero` make the burn queryable in O(1).
Source: `contracts/contracts/AereFeeBurnVault.sol`.
- **AereCoinbaseSplitter** at `0xb4b0eCe9011613A5b84248a9B42a0f309E6F01Ec`. The
routing contract. A validator or its forwarder daemon calls
`splitAndDistribute(validator)` or `splitToSelf()` with the accumulated
coinbase as `msg.value`. The contract computes `burnAmount = msg.value *
burnBps / 10000`, forwards `burnAmount` to AereFeeBurnVault via its `burn()`
entrypoint, and returns the remainder to the validator address. It maintains
lifetime counters `totalBurned` and `totalDistributed` and per-caller
attributions. Source: `contracts/contracts/AereCoinbaseSplitter.sol`.
- **AereCoinbaseSplitterV2** at `0x8C1A48eFA57b66fEE743A00E3899c29ad3Fd27b4`. The
current canonical splitter. Source:
`contracts/contracts/AereCoinbaseSplitterV2.sol`.
### Parameters
- `burnBps` default is `3750`, which is 37.5%, matching whitepaper Section 3.3.
- `setBurnBps(uint256)` is owner-only and MUST revert above `5000` (a hard cap of
50%). The whitepaper says "up to 37.5%", so the cap gives headroom while
bounding abuse. Owner is the Foundation
`0x0243A4f47D44b40b65D33f20329dE20D00c6f3C3`.
- The splitter holds no custody across calls: every call fully dispatches
`msg.value` into the burn portion and the validator rebate.
### Extra burn on top
Beyond the coinbase split, the immutable revenue router **AereSink** at
`0x69581B86A48161b067Ff4E01544780625B231676` directs an additional bucket to
AereFeeBurnVault (see AIP-5). The 37.5% figure in this AIP refers specifically to
the coinbase split, not to the total of all burn paths.
## Rationale
The split is done in application code called by the validator rather than at the
consensus layer because QBFT does not offer a base-fee-burn hook, and forking the
client to add one would break EVM-equivalence with Ethereum tooling and add a
consensus-critical code path to maintain. Routing the coinbase through an
immutable, non-custodial splitter achieves the economic outcome (a fixed fraction
provably burned, with public counters) without touching consensus.
The burn vault is deliberately separate from the splitter and has no admin, so
even the splitter owner cannot pull burned funds back. The 50% hard cap on
`burnBps` bounds the worst case if the owner key is misused.
## Backwards Compatibility
None. This mechanism adds a routing path; it does not change transaction
semantics, gas accounting, or the EVM ruleset.
## Security Considerations
The honest limitation of this design is that the burn is **cooperative, not
protocol-enforced**. Nothing at the consensus layer compels a validator to route
its coinbase through the splitter. A validator that keeps its full coinbase simply
does not burn. Today the network runs seven validators under a single operator
(the Foundation), so in practice the burn depends on Foundation-operated
infrastructure calling the splitter, not on a trustless rule. As the validator
set decentralizes, making the burn a credible network-wide property will require
either social/economic commitment from validators or a future Core AIP that moves
the split into block production itself.
Within the contracts, the risks are limited: the splitter is non-custodial and
reentrancy-guarded, and the burn vault has no withdraw path or admin. The
`burnBps` setter is owner-gated and capped at 50%.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment

# AIP-3: Sub-Second Block Period (500 ms QBFT)
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | 3 |
| Title | Sub-Second Block Period (500 ms QBFT) |
| Author | AERE Foundation |
| Type | Standards Track |
| Category | Core |
| Status | Final |
| Created | 2026-07-11 |
| Requires | None |
| Supersedes | None |
| Superseded-By | None |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Abstract
This AIP documents the mid-chain transition of AERE's block period from one
second to 500 milliseconds, performed as a QBFT configuration transition rather
than a chain restart, so that all history, state, and validator keys were
preserved. It is a retro-filed record of a change that is already live on chain
2800.
## Motivation
AERE targets settlement-grade latency. A one-second block period puts a hard
floor of about one second on inclusion latency and worst-case finality. Halving
the block period to 500 ms roughly halves both, which materially improves the
feel of interactive flows (swaps, payments, wallet confirmations) without any
change to the EVM or to application code.
The change had to be done without re-genesising the chain. AERE had already been
forced through one full re-genesis (genesis-v2 on 2026-05-07), and losing history
again was not acceptable. QBFT supports timed configuration transitions, so the
block period could be reduced at a scheduled block with continuity of state and
validator identity.
## Specification
### Mechanism
Hyperledger Besu QBFT reads the initial block period from `config.qbft` and reads
scheduled overrides from a **separate** `transitions` object at the config root.
The transition key is `xblockperiodmilliseconds` (note: milliseconds, and note the
`x` prefix, which marks the option experimental in Besu). The correct, and easily
mis-typed, form is:
<!-- QBFT-TRANSITION-CANONICAL path=config.transitions.qbft key=xblockperiodmilliseconds block=2137652 value=500 -->
```json
{
"config": {
"qbft": {
"blockperiodseconds": 1,
"epochlength": 30000,
"requesttimeoutseconds": 4
},
"transitions": {
"qbft": [
{ "block": 2137652, "xblockperiodmilliseconds": 500 }
]
}
}
}
```
`transitions` is a sibling of `qbft`, not a child of it. Besu reads `transitions`
from the config root (`JsonGenesisConfigOptions.java:47`) and then the sub key
`qbft` (`TransitionsConfigOptions.getQbftForks()`). A `transitions` object nested
inside `config.qbft` is never read, parses without any error or warning, and is
silently inert.
### Activation
The 500 ms period is in force from block 2,137,652 on chain 2800. Before that
block the network produced one-second blocks; from that block onward it produces
500 ms blocks, with the cadence settling into a steady alternating pattern by
block 2,137,662. State, account balances, contract code, and the validator set
were unchanged across the transition.
Block 2,137,652 is the boundary because it is the first block on chain 2800 whose
timestamp equals its parent's. That is impossible while a one second minimum
period is in force, and it is the reason the block number is not a free choice: a
node configured to transition later than 2,137,652 applies
`TimestampMoreRecentThanParent` to block 2,137,652
(`QbftBlockHeaderValidationRulesetFactory.java:80-83`), rejects it, and stops
syncing. Full evidence in `aerenew/docs/TRANZITIA-QBFT-SETTLED-2026-07-20.md`.
### Operational note for fresh nodes
A node synced from genesis against this config applies the transition
automatically. A brand-new isolated chain started from a config like this needs
`--sync-min-peers=1` to begin producing, which is an operational detail of
bootstrapping, not part of the consensus rule.
## Rationale
A configuration transition was chosen over a re-genesis because it preserves the
chain's entire history and, critically, the validator keys and account state.
Re-genesis was rejected: it destroys history and forces every integrator to
re-point. QBFT's timed transition is purpose-built for exactly this kind of
parameter change and avoids a client fork.
500 ms was chosen as a conservative first step below one second. It roughly halves
latency while staying comfortably within what a small, low-latency,
Foundation-operated validator set can sustain. Going lower (for example 250 ms or
100 ms) is possible in principle but was deliberately not attempted here, because
tighter periods increase the rate of missed-proposal rounds and stress
peer-to-peer timing, and there is no need to push that limit with the current
validator topology.
## Backwards Compatibility
None at the application layer. Block time is not part of the EVM; contracts do not
observe it directly. Note the second-order effect: any code that assumed a
one-second block period to convert block counts to wall-clock time (for example a
naive per-block reward constant) is now wrong by 2x. AERE hit exactly this: the
original staking contract computed rewards against a hardcoded blocks-per-year
constant and under-paid once blocks sped up. That was fixed in AereStakingV2
(`0x1D95eF6D17aeAB732dF914Ba2d018c270BC155FC`) by moving reward accrual to
timestamps, which is block-time-immune. New code MUST use `block.timestamp`, not
block height, for wall-clock math.
## Security Considerations
Reducing the block period narrows the timing margin for each consensus round. With
the current seven validators under a single operator this is low-risk because
network latency between the nodes is small and predictable, and QBFT finalizes
within the round among a small set. The honest caveats:
- **Small, single-operator validator set.** Sub-second finality here is a property
of a seven-node, one-operator topology, not of a large decentralized set. It
should not be read as a claim about behavior under a geographically dispersed,
independently operated validator set. Reassessing the block period will be part
of decentralizing the validator set.
- **No consensus-layer change beyond the parameter.** This is a timing parameter,
not a new consensus algorithm. It does not alter QBFT's fault tolerance
assumptions.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
This is a chain-configuration change, so there is no contract address. The
authoritative artifacts are the Besu QBFT genesis/config carrying the
`xblockperiodmilliseconds: 500` transition at block 2,137,652 (see Erratum 1),
and the chain history itself: block intervals before 2,137,652 are 1000 ms and
after are approximately 500 ms, verifiable via `eth_getBlockByNumber` timestamp
deltas on `https://rpc.aere.network`. Chain ID is 2800.
## Errata
**Erratum 1, 2026-07-20. The Mechanism JSON example was self-contradictory, and
the activation block was wrong.**
As originally published, the prose in Mechanism correctly described a `transitions`
block, but the JSON example nested `transitions` **inside** `qbft`, which is a form
Besu never reads. The example was:
```json
{
"_note": "WRONG-FORM, historical record of the original defect. Do not copy.",
"config": {
"qbft": {
"blockperiodseconds": 1,
"transitions": { "qbft": [ { "block": 2138451, "xblockperiodmilliseconds": 500 } ] }
}
}
}
```
That fence is retained above only as the historical record of the defect. It is
marked WRONG-FORM so the regression test skips it. It must not be copied.
Two things were corrected in the body:
1. **Path.** `transitions` moved from inside `config.qbft` to the config root, as
a sibling of `qbft`. Settled from the Besu 26.4.0 source
(`JsonGenesisConfigOptions.java:47`, `TransitionsConfigOptions.getQbftForks()`).
2. **Activation block.** `2,138,451` corrected to `2,137,652`. The original figure
was not measured. Live block timestamps show the one second cadence ending at
block 2,137,651, and block 2,137,652 carries the same timestamp as its parent,
which a one second period forbids. The `2,138,451` figure is roughly 800 blocks
too late and would halt a from-genesis sync at 2,137,652.
The key name `xblockperiodmilliseconds` was correct as originally published and is
unchanged. The 500 ms value is unchanged. Nothing about the deployed network
changed; only this document's description of it was wrong.
Evidence and Besu source citations: `aerenew/docs/TRANZITIA-QBFT-SETTLED-2026-07-20.md`.
## Post-Acceptance Outcome Record
*Appended 2026-07-20 under AIP-1 section 5. Nothing above this heading was
edited.*
**Measured block interval: 516.4 ms. Configured target: 500 ms.**
The transition worked: history, state and validator keys were preserved, and
intervals before block 2,137,652 (see Erratum 1) are 1000 ms while intervals after
are approximately 500 ms, as the sections above describe. But the realized mean
interval is **516.4 ms (measured)**, roughly 3.3% above the 500 ms target, not
500 ms exactly.
This is expected behavior rather than a defect: `xblockperiodmilliseconds` sets a
minimum period, and QBFT adds real proposal, gossip and commit latency on top of
it. A configured target and a measured cadence are different quantities.
**The obligation this creates.** Aere documents state the target as a
configuration value and the interval as a measured value, and never present 500 ms
as a measured result. Any derived figure that depends on block cadence, including
the EIP-2935 lookback duration quoted in AIP-7 and AIP-18 as "roughly 68 minutes",
is computed from the target and is therefore an approximation that runs about 3%
optimistic; at the measured 516.4 ms cadence, 8191 blocks is approximately 70.5
minutes.

# AIP-4: On-Chain Post-Quantum Signature Verification Suite
## Preamble

| Title | On-Chain Post-Quantum Signature Verification Suite |
| Author | AERE Foundation |

## Abstract
This AIP documents AERE's suite of on-chain post-quantum signature verifiers,
implemented in pure Solidity and validated against official NIST Known-Answer-Test
(KAT) and ACVP vectors. The suite covers hash-based schemes (WOTS+, XMSS,
SPHINCS+/SLH-DSA) and lattice schemes (Falcon-512, Falcon-1024, ML-DSA-44), plus
the account-layer primitives that turn Falcon-512 verification into a usable
wallet. It is a retro-filed record of contracts already live on chain 2800. It is
explicit that this is an application and account layer capability today; AERE
consensus is not post-quantum.
## Motivation
A cryptographically relevant quantum computer would break the secp256k1 ECDSA
signatures that secure ordinary EVM accounts. The migration path the ecosystem
will eventually need is on-chain verification of NIST post-quantum signature
schemes, so that accounts and applications can require a quantum-resistant
signature. AERE's goal was to make those verifiers real and correct on a live EVM
chain, validated bit-for-bit against the official test vectors, rather than
described in a whitepaper.
There is a real scope boundary here that this AIP states plainly, because getting
it wrong would be a false claim: verifying a post-quantum signature inside a
contract is an application-layer capability. It does not make the chain's
consensus post-quantum. Validators on AERE still sign classical QBFT.
## Specification
### The verifier suite (live on chain 2800)
Each verifier is a pure-Solidity contract validated against official vectors.
Whether a verifier can record a result in a state-changing transaction, versus
only answer as a `view` via `eth_call`, is decided by the EIP-7825 per-transaction
gas cap of 16,777,216 (2^24). Schemes whose full verify fits under the cap expose
a state-changing `verifyAndRecord`; schemes whose full verify exceeds the cap in
pure Solidity are `view`-only until a native precompile exists (see below).
| Scheme | Contract | Address | On-chain mode | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| WOTS+ (hash-based, one-time) | AerePQCVerifier | `0x1cE2949e8cE3f1A77b178aF767a4455c08ec6F82` | records on-chain | hash-based, well under the cap; exact standalone gas to be measured (bounded above by the XMSS figure below, which contains a WOTS+ verify) |
| XMSS-SHA2_10_256 (RFC 8391, many-time) | AereXmssVerifier | `0x77b14E264D0bb08d304d4e0E527F0fCdFc88B112` | records on-chain | `verifyAndRecord` gasUsed 1,561,963 < 16,777,216 |
| SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s / SPHINCS+-SHA2-128s-simple (FIPS 205, stateless) | AereSphincsVerifier | `0xAfFc9F8d950969b46b54e77758BbFf7e000c87e6` | records on-chain | `verifyAndRecord` gasUsed 1,812,066 < 16,777,216 |
| Falcon-512 (NIST level 1 lattice) | AereFalcon512Verifier | `0x4E8e9682329e646784fB3bd01430aA4bA54D8fFC` | records on-chain | verify fits under the cap; demonstrated inside a full ERC-4337 userOp (gasUsed 10,278,313) and hybrid auth (gasUsed 10,299,873), both < 16,777,216 |
| Falcon-1024 (NIST level 5 lattice) | AereFalcon1024Verifier | `0xF0aFA59BaB2058e4B6e6B424b7f76750F1F66e36` | records on-chain (via precompile) | in this pure-Solidity contract `verifyAndRecord` is about 21.7M gas and EXCEEDS the 16,777,216 cap, so its `verify()` is a pure view; the scheme now records on-chain through the native Falcon-1024 precompile at `0x0AE2`, live on mainnet since block 9,189,161 (AIP-7) |
| ML-DSA-44 / Dilithium2 (FIPS 204 lattice) | AereMLDSA44Verifier | `0xf1F7A6Acd82D5DAf9AF3166a2F736EE52C5F85AE` | records on-chain (via precompile) | a full verify in this pure-Solidity contract is about 52.9M gas and EXCEEDS the cap, so its `verify()` is a pure view; the scheme now records on-chain through the native ML-DSA-44 precompile at `0x0AE3`, live on mainnet since block 9,189,161 (AIP-7) |
| Falcon/Dilithium-family lattice core (ring arithmetic, norm), n=64 demo | AereLatticeVerifier | `0x60c06E6A3CC201B46A16650be096C6E45424dfD9` | building block | supports the Falcon verifiers |
Validation vectors used, as repo fixtures:
- Falcon-512: `contracts/test/falcon512_kat0.json` (official NIST KAT).
- Falcon-1024: `contracts/test/falcon1024_kat0.json` (official round-3 KAT).
- XMSS: `contracts/test/fixtures/xmss-sha2_10_256-kat.json` (xmss-reference vectors).
- ML-DSA-44: `contracts/test/fixtures/mldsa44-acvp-tg8.json` (NIST ACVP
ML-DSA-sigVer, 15/15 cases reproduce NIST's expected results).
- SPHINCS+/SLH-DSA: `contracts/test/fixtures/sphincs-sha2-128s-acvp-tg31.json`
(NIST ACVP SLH-DSA-sigVer, 14/14 cases reproduce NIST's expected results).
### Account-layer primitives (live on chain 2800)
- **AerePQCAccountFactory** at `0xd5315Ea7caa60d320c4f34b1bEd70dd9cc02CE58`. A
CREATE2 factory that deploys an ERC-4337 v0.7 smart account whose sole owner is
a Falcon-512 public key (897 bytes), with no classical ECDSA fallback. Both
`validateUserOp` and EIP-1271 `isValidSignature` are decided by the live
AereFalcon512Verifier.
- **AerePQCAccount_sample** at `0xa42a5e7F72E46BadC11367650Ec34D676194326f`. A
sample account owned by a real Falcon-512 key, used to prove the EIP-1271 accept
path (`0x1626ba7e`) and a full userOp through the EntryPoint.
- **AereHybridAuth** at `0xc20390C9656ECe1AE37603c84E395bC898b3FAA1`. Authorizes
only if BOTH a secp256k1 ECDSA signature AND a Falcon-512 signature verify over
the same 32-byte hash. This is the pragmatic migration primitive: classical and
post-quantum in series, so an account is safe as long as either scheme holds.
### Standing of the suite
Across hash-based and lattice families, with each verifier validated against the
official NIST KAT/ACVP vectors and demonstrated on a live EVM chain:
we are not aware of any other public chain that verifies all of these on-chain.
We are not, however, the first public chain to verify a post-quantum signature
on-chain, and we do not claim to be. Algorand shipped the native Falcon-1024
`falcon_verify` AVM opcode in a stable release roughly ten months before AERE's
precompiles activated at block 9,189,161 (2026-07-12), and places Falcon deeper
in its stack than AERE does, inside its own state proofs. That prior art, with
sources and dates, is set out in
`aere-research/research/pqc-onchain-verification.md`, Section 8.
## Rationale
Pure-Solidity verifiers were built first because they run on the live chain today
with no client change and are auditable by anyone with an EVM. The design splits
cleanly along the EIP-7825 gas cap: the hash-based schemes and Falcon-512 fit
under the cap and can therefore record a verification result on-chain, which is
what an account or an application actually needs. Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44 are
too expensive to record in pure Solidity, so they are offered as `view` verifiers
(useful for off-chain-anchored checks and for correctness demonstration) until a
native precompile makes recording them feasible.
Hybrid ECDSA-plus-Falcon authorization (AereHybridAuth) was chosen as the first
account-facing product because it is the safest migration posture: it never
weakens the classical guarantee while adding the post-quantum one.
### Native precompile (live on mainnet chain 2800 since block 9,189,161)
Moving Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44 to record-on-chain, and making Falcon-512 and
SPHINCS+ far cheaper, requires a native precompile for SHAKE256 and for the
Falcon, ML-DSA, and SPHINCS verify routines. That work was implemented and
KAT-validated on an isolated Besu 26.4.0 scratch fork (source tag 26.4.0, commit
`d2032017`, chain 28099), which adds five native precompiles wrapping the
Bouncy Castle 1.83 BCPQC verifiers already on the client classpath (Falcon-512,
Falcon-1024, ML-DSA-44, SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s, SHAKE256), plus a native EIP-2935
8191-block lookback, with zero new dependencies and zero hand-rolled cryptography.
All NIST KAT and ACVP vectors pass in both directions, positive and negative
(15/15 ML-DSA-44 cases, 14/14 SLH-DSA cases). Measured full verify-and-record
gas on that fork: Falcon-512 86,336; Falcon-1024 145,496 (0.87% of the
16,777,216 cap); ML-DSA-44 351,050 (2.09%); SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s 558,276; SHAKE256
21,470. This moves Falcon-1024 (about 21.7M gas in pure Solidity) and ML-DSA-44
(about 52.9M gas) from view-only to record-on-chain with wide margin.
That fork is now LIVE on mainnet chain 2800, activated at block 9,189,161
(2026-07-12) as the AerePQC hard fork: a coordinated, client-only, flag-day
activation with no re-genesis and no state migration, which adds the five native
precompiles at the address band `0x0AE1`..`0x0AE5` (Falcon-512, Falcon-1024,
ML-DSA-44, SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s, SHAKE256) and the native EIP-2935 8191-block
lookback. The pure-Solidity AereFalcon1024Verifier and AereMLDSA44Verifier
contracts remain view-only, but the Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44 schemes now record
on-chain through the precompiles at `0x0AE2` and `0x0AE3`, demonstrated
end-to-end by a real Falcon-1024 attestation recorded through AerePQCAttestation
(`0x465d9E3b476BF98Aa1393079e240Db5D2a9bEA6A`, attestation tx `0xb659…9ec1`,
block 9,200,542, status 1). The activation is filed as its own Core AIP, AIP-7;
the mechanism is specified in `research/aip-draft-pqc-precompiles.md`. The
precompiles carry an internal self-audit only; an external audit is still pending
before they should secure material value.
## Backwards Compatibility
None. The verifiers and account primitives are additive contracts. They do not
change the EVM ruleset, existing accounts, or consensus. Ordinary secp256k1
accounts continue to work unchanged.
## Security Considerations
The single most important honesty point: **this is an application and account
layer capability, not post-quantum consensus.** AERE validators still sign
classical QBFT, so a quantum adversary that could forge validator signatures is
not addressed by these contracts. Do not read this AIP as a claim that AERE
consensus is post-quantum. It is not.
Further honest caveats:
- **Pure-Solidity view versus precompile record.** The pure-Solidity
AereFalcon1024Verifier and AereMLDSA44Verifier cannot record a result on-chain
because a recording transaction exceeds the 16,777,216 gas cap; their `verify()`
over `eth_call` is only as trustworthy as the node answering it. Since the
AerePQC hard fork (block 9,189,161, AIP-7), the Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44
schemes do record on-chain through the native precompiles at `0x0AE2` and
`0x0AE3`, which are consensus-anchored. Falcon-512, WOTS+, XMSS, and SPHINCS+
also record on-chain.
- **XMSS statefulness.** AereXmssVerifier verifies a signature but does not
enforce the signer's one-time-per-leaf state. Callers that rely on XMSS's
many-time security must track leaf usage off-chain. WOTS+ is one-time by
construction and must not be reused across messages.
- **Cost.** Falcon-512 verification is heavy (roughly 10.3M gas inside a full
userOp). It fits under the cap but is expensive; the native precompile is the
path to making it cheap.
- **Unaudited.** These verifiers have not had an external security audit. Their
assurance today rests on bit-for-bit agreement with the official NIST KAT/ACVP
vectors and on cross-checks against independent reference implementations, which
is strong evidence of correctness on the tested vectors but is not a substitute
for an audit.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
Verifier sources are under `contracts/contracts/` (glob for the PQC, Falcon,
XMSS, ML-DSA, and SPHINCS verifiers). All addresses in the tables above are copied
verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`. Each verifier is live and answerable via
`eth_call` on `https://rpc.aere.network` (chain ID 2800): official vectors return
true, tampered inputs return false. The recording transactions cited (XMSS,
SPHINCS+, the Falcon-512 account userOp, and the hybrid auth) are on-chain and
under the EIP-7825 cap.

# AIP-5: sAERE Receipt Token and AereSink Immutable Flywheel
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | 5 |
| Title | sAERE Receipt Token and AereSink Immutable Flywheel |
| Author | AERE Foundation |

| Category | ARC |

| Requires | 2 |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Abstract
This AIP documents AERE's protocol-revenue flywheel: an immutable three-bucket
router (AereSink) that splits incoming fee streams into burn, buyback-and-burn,
and staker-yield, and an ERC-4626 receipt token (sAERE) whose exchange rate drifts
up as the staker-yield bucket flows in. Neither contract has an owner, admin, or
upgrade path. It is a retro-filed record of contracts already live on chain 2800.
## Motivation
AERE wanted a single, credible mechanism to accrue protocol revenue to AERE
holders that no one, including the Foundation, could later divert or turn off. The
two failure modes to avoid were (1) an admin-controlled treasury that could
redirect fees, and (2) a receipt token whose yield could be gamed by
flash-loan sandwich attacks around the moment revenue arrives.
The design goal was an immutable router with fixed, publicly verifiable split
percentages, feeding a receipt vault that vests arrivals smoothly instead of in a
single-block step, so that stakers earn deterministically and no admin key is a
point of trust or a point of failure.
## Specification
### AereSink (immutable three-bucket router)
Address `0x69581B86A48161b067Ff4E01544780625B231676`. Source
`contracts/contracts/sink/AereSink.sol`.
Fee-source contracts call `flush(token, amount)` after approving the sink. The
sink splits the amount into three buckets by immutable basis points that MUST sum
to 10000 (the constructor reverts otherwise):
- **BURN_BPS = 1500 (15%)** to AereFeeBurnVault
(`0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6`), an extra burn on top of the
37.5% coinbase burn in AIP-2.
- **BUYBACK_BPS = 4000 (40%)** buyback-and-burn: non-AERE fees are swapped to AERE
via the DEX router and then burned.
- **STAKER_YIELD_BPS = 4500 (45%)** to the sAERE vault, lifting its exchange rate.
If the flushed token is AERE (WAERE, `0x7e84d7d66d5da4cfE46Da67CDEeB05B323e1f5e8`),
the burn and buyback buckets merge into a single transfer to the burn vault and the
staker bucket transfers to sAERE directly, no swap. If the token is not AERE, each
bucket is swapped along `[token, AERE]` with an oracle-derived `amountOutMin` floor
so the swap cannot be sandwiched via pool-reserve manipulation.
Immutability invariants (enforced in code and tests): no owner, no admin, no
governance role; no `setBucket`, `setRecipient`, `setRouter`, or `pause`; bucket
recipients and basis points are set at deploy and are immutable. Replacing the
router means redeploying and rewiring fee sources, not mutating this contract.
### sAERE (ERC-4626 receipt token)
Address `0xA2125bE9C6fd4196D9F94757Df18B3a2A5e650b0`. Source
`contracts/contracts/staking/sAERE.sol`.
sAERE is a standard ERC-4626 vault: deposit WAERE, receive sAERE shares. The
WAERE-per-sAERE rate rises as the staker-yield bucket arrives. Two hardening
choices are normative:
- **Linear drip.** Arrivals are not recognized as an instantaneous jump in
`totalAssets`. They vest linearly over `DRIP_DURATION = 7 days`. `totalAssets()`
excludes the not-yet-vested reserve, so share price grows continuously, not in a
single-block step. `sync()` is permissionless and is called inside every deposit
and withdraw; AereSink also pings it after transferring yield in.
- **Inflation-attack widening.** `_decimalsOffset()` is overridden to 6 and a
dead-share seed is minted at construction, so the classic first-depositor
inflation attack is economically infeasible.
sAERE has no admin, no owner, no pause, no upgrade proxy, and no parameter
setters. `DRIP_DURATION` and the decimal offset are compile-time constants.
## Rationale
Immutability is the whole point. An admin-configurable router would reintroduce
exactly the trust assumption the flywheel is meant to remove, so AereSink has no
setters at all; changing the policy requires a visible redeploy and a rewire that
the community can observe. The 15/40/45 split weights holder accrual (buyback plus
staker yield is 85%) over pure burn (15%), on the view that a rising sAERE rate
plus buyback pressure is a stronger, more legible incentive than a large flat burn
alone.
The linear drip exists specifically to defeat the deposit-then-flush-then-redeem
sandwich: if yield landed as a step, a flash-loaned depositor could capture it in
one block. Vesting over seven days makes the per-block share-price change
negligible relative to any single attacker's position. Choosing an ERC-4626
receipt token (rather than a rebasing balance) keeps sAERE composable with the
wider DeFi tooling that already understands 4626.
## Backwards Compatibility
None. sAERE is a standard ERC-4626 token and AereSink is an additive router. They
introduce no new base token (AERE, via its WAERE wrapper, is the only token) and do
not change existing contracts. Fee sources opt in by calling `flush`.
## Security Considerations
- **No admin is a feature and a constraint.** Because neither contract has an
owner, a bug in either cannot be patched in place; the only remedy is a redeploy
and a rewire of fee sources. This is the accepted trade for removing admin trust.
- **Sandwich resistance depends on the oracle.** The buyback swap's `amountOutMin`
is computed from an oracle price floor, not from pool reserves. If AereSink is
deployed with a zero oracle (a test-only mode), swaps accept any non-zero output
and are sandwich-able. Production deployment MUST set a real oracle. The drip
mitigates the yield-timing sandwich independently of the swap path.
- **Swap liveness.** If a non-AERE buyback swap fails (no liquidity, slippage),
the tokens remain as dust and `sweepDust()` can re-flush later; a single dead
pair does not lock the whole flush. This is a liveness, not a safety, concern.
- **Unaudited.** These contracts have not had an external security audit. They
have been hardened across several internal review rounds (the drip and the
inflation-offset widening are outputs of those rounds), but internal review is
not an external audit.
- **Thin usage.** As with the rest of AERE today, real flush volume through the
sink is thin. The mechanism is live and immutable, but its economic effect is
only as large as the fee streams actually routed into it.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
- `contracts/contracts/sink/AereSink.sol` -> `0x69581B86A48161b067Ff4E01544780625B231676`
- `contracts/contracts/staking/sAERE.sol` -> `0xA2125bE9C6fd4196D9F94757Df18B3a2A5e650b0`
- Burn destination: AereFeeBurnVault `0x696afDF4f814e6Fd6aa45CE14C498ed9375fB2c6` (AIP-2)
- Base token: WAERE `0x7e84d7d66d5da4cfE46Da67CDEeB05B323e1f5e8`
- Deploy script: `contracts/deploy/deploy-saere-sink-stack.js` (splits 1500/4000/4500)
All addresses copied verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`. The immutable split
is readable on-chain via `AereSink.BURN_BPS()`, `BUYBACK_BPS()`, and
`STAKER_YIELD_BPS()`, which sum to 10000.

## Abstract
This AIP documents AERE's account-abstraction onboarding stack: ERC-4337-shaped
EntryPoints, passkey (WebAuthn / secp256r1) smart accounts that use the Fusaka
P-256 precompile, and a set of paymasters that let a new user transact without
first holding AERE for gas. It is a retro-filed record of contracts already live
on chain 2800.
## Motivation
The single hardest step in crypto onboarding is the cold start: a new user needs
gas to make their first transaction, but they cannot get gas without already
transacting or bridging in. AERE's answer is account abstraction plus paymasters,
so a user can create a wallet secured by a device passkey (Face ID, Touch ID,
Windows Hello, a security key) and have their first transactions sponsored, with
no seed phrase and no pre-funded gas.
Fusaka makes the passkey half cheap. Its RIP-7951 precompile at address `0x100`
verifies a secp256r1 / P-256 signature natively for a fixed cost of about 3,450
gas, versus roughly 250,000 gas to do the same check in Solidity. That is what
makes a passkey-signed userOp economical.
## Specification
### EntryPoints
- **AereEntryPoint** at `0x19773ba45287A64B05d0BCBD59D1371BF51Bd5D2`. A
lightweight ERC-4337-compatible EntryPoint used by the paymasters.
- **AereEntryPointV2** at `0x8D6f40598d552fF0Cb358b6012cF4227B86aF770`. The
current ERC-4337-shaped EntryPoint that the V2 accounts validate against.
### Passkey accounts
- **AerePasskeyAccountFactory** at `0xfB0eF980667A79Fe1AB69c5f2d512118F1B30739`.
V1, legacy. Single-passkey-owner smart account. Retained for the original demo
account.
- **AerePasskeyAccountFactoryV2** at `0x5FFa9a6487DA4641a1A1e7900ff2bD4525D34fdA`.
V2. Accounts are MultiOwnable (passkey owners and EOA owners), expose an
ERC-4337 `validateUserOp` shim and EIP-1271 `isValidSignature`, and support
recovery by an existing owner adding a new owner. `predictAddress(initialOwners,
salt)` gives the counterfactual address.
Signature verification for passkey owners routes through the Fusaka P-256
precompile at `0x100`.
### Paymasters
- **AereOnboardingPaymaster** at `0x4058E406475Dbed7056Aee0c808f293F05fEa879`.
Foundation-funded sponsorship for cold-start users. Rate-limited to 3 lifetime
userOps per sender and a sitewide cap of 100 sponsored userOps per day. This is
the "your first few transactions are free" primitive.
- **AereAppPaymasterFactory** at `0xEC22603E8712cBc5c31E53370D10f1a80CcB4DF0`. A
permissionless factory: any dApp clones its own AereAppPaymaster to sponsor its
own users on its own budget.
- **AereTokenPaymasterV2** at `0x217f56a5b0C7f35abe4D2fff924A6c13B85d7243`. Pay gas
in any whitelisted ERC-20 instead of AERE. `withdrawToken` uses `transfer()` so
the Foundation can sweep collected gas revenue (the V1 bug that stranded
collected tokens is fixed here).
- **AereStakeQuotaPaymasterV2** at `0xE50464ca7E8E7F542D1816B3172a2330cFE384E8`.
Stake AERE to earn a daily free-transaction quota, a Tron-style UX. It reads the
real AereStaking and AereLockedStaking state with bounded loops.
These V2 paymasters are the canonical ones; the relayer, website, and SDK point
here, not at the deprecated V1 paymasters.
## Rationale
The stack follows ERC-4337 rather than inventing a bespoke account model so that
existing bundler and account-abstraction tooling transfers directly, and so that
accounts are contracts (upgradable ownership, recovery, EIP-1271) rather than
raw EOAs.
Passkeys were chosen for the owner key because they remove the seed phrase, which
is the biggest single cause of self-custody loss, and because Fusaka's native
P-256 precompile makes on-chain WebAuthn verification cheap enough to use in every
userOp. The V2 accounts are MultiOwnable specifically to provide a recovery path:
an existing owner can add a new owner, so losing one device does not brick the
account.
Multiple paymasters exist because "gasless" means different things in different
contexts: a one-time cold-start subsidy (onboarding), a dApp sponsoring its own
users (app factory), paying gas in a stable ERC-20 (token paymaster), or earning
free transactions by staking (stake-quota). Each is a distinct policy, so each is
a distinct, narrowly-scoped paymaster rather than one over-configurable contract.
## Backwards Compatibility
None. These are additive contracts. Ordinary EOAs and existing contracts are
unaffected. Builders opt in by deploying accounts through the factories and wiring
a paymaster.
## Security Considerations
- **The EntryPoints are AERE's own implementations.** They are ERC-4337-compatible
in shape and interface, not the canonical audited Ethereum ERC-4337 EntryPoint
singleton. Integrators should treat them as AERE-specific and not assume
byte-level parity with mainnet Ethereum's EntryPoint.
- **Gasless is subsidized, not free.** AereOnboardingPaymaster spends Foundation
funds. Its 3-per-sender lifetime limit and 100-per-day sitewide cap exist to
bound abuse and cost; sponsorship is not an unlimited, permanent entitlement and
can be exhausted or turned down. Users past the free tier pay gas normally (in
AERE, in a whitelisted ERC-20, or via a stake quota).
- **Recovery is owner-mediated.** V2 account recovery works by an existing owner
adding a new owner. If all owner devices are lost and no recovery owner was
pre-registered, the account is not recoverable. Users should add a backup owner.
- **Passkey trust model.** Passkey security depends on the device's secure
element and the platform WebAuthn implementation. A compromised device or a
platform vulnerability is outside what the contract can defend against.
- **Single client, unaudited.** As with the rest of AERE today, this runs on a
single client (Besu QBFT) under a small Foundation-operated validator set, and
these contracts have not had an external security audit. The V1 passkey account
and V1 paymasters had known gaps (V1 was a demo-grade single-owner account with
no recovery, and two V1 paymasters had confirmed bugs); V2 closed those, and the
V1 contracts are left on-chain but deprecated. New integrations MUST use the V2
addresses.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
Sources under `contracts/contracts/passkey/` (accounts, factories, MultiOwnable,
EntryPointV2, WebAuthn, P256Probe) and `contracts/contracts/` plus
`contracts/contracts/paymaster/` (the paymasters and EntryPoint). Addresses:
- AereEntryPoint `0x19773ba45287A64B05d0BCBD59D1371BF51Bd5D2`
- AereEntryPointV2 `0x8D6f40598d552fF0Cb358b6012cF4227B86aF770`
- AerePasskeyAccountFactory (V1) `0xfB0eF980667A79Fe1AB69c5f2d512118F1B30739`
- AerePasskeyAccountFactoryV2 `0x5FFa9a6487DA4641a1A1e7900ff2bD4525D34fdA`
- AereOnboardingPaymaster `0x4058E406475Dbed7056Aee0c808f293F05fEa879`
- AereAppPaymasterFactory `0xEC22603E8712cBc5c31E53370D10f1a80CcB4DF0`
- AereTokenPaymasterV2 `0x217f56a5b0C7f35abe4D2fff924A6c13B85d7243`
- AereStakeQuotaPaymasterV2 `0xE50464ca7E8E7F542D1816B3172a2330cFE384E8`
All addresses copied verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`. The Fusaka P-256
precompile at `0x100` (RIP-7951) is active on chain 2800 from the Fusaka
activation (unix 1780220351, block 2,106,597).

# AIP-7: AerePQC Hard-Fork Activation (Native PQC Precompiles and Extended EIP-2935 Lookback)
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | 7 |
| Title | AerePQC Hard-Fork Activation (Native PQC Precompiles and Extended EIP-2935 Lookback) |
| Author | AERE Foundation |
| Type | Standards Track |
| Category | Core |
| Status | Final |
| Created | 2026-07-16 |
| Requires | 4 |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Abstract
This AIP documents the AerePQC hard fork, a coordinated, client-only activation on
mainnet chain 2800 at block 9,189,161 (2026-07-12) that added two Core changes: five
native post-quantum verification precompiles at the address band `0x0AE1`..`0x0AE5`
(Falcon-512, Falcon-1024, ML-DSA-44, SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s, and SHAKE256), and the
native EIP-2935 8191-block historical-block-hash lookback. It is a retro-filed
record of a change already live on chain 2800. It is explicit that this fork
changed only the execution layer; AERE consensus is still classical secp256k1
ECDSA QBFT and is not post-quantum.
## Motivation
AIP-4 documents AERE's pure-Solidity post-quantum verifier suite. Two of those
schemes, Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44, cannot record a verification result in a
state-changing transaction in pure Solidity, because a recording transaction
exceeds the EIP-7825 per-transaction gas cap of 16,777,216 (2^24). Their
verification is correct but was reachable only as a read-only `eth_call` view,
which is only as trustworthy as the node answering it and is not consensus
anchored. The other schemes that do fit under the cap (notably Falcon-512, at
roughly 10.5M gas inside a full userOp) are correct but expensive.
The fix that removes both limits is a native precompile: the dominant cost inside
every one of these verifiers is SHAKE / Keccak-f[1600] streaming plus lattice ring
arithmetic, and moving that into audited native code, wrapped as an EVM precompile,
reduces each verification by more than an order of magnitude. This is the same
approach Ethereum uses for other heavy primitives (RIP-7951 for native P-256,
EIP-2537 for native BLS12-381). Bundling the native EIP-2935 write path into the
same fork gave the network extended trustless block-hash lookback in one scheduled
activation instead of two.
The goal was to make Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-44 record on-chain within the same
16,777,216 per-transaction cap AERE keeps as a functional peer of Ethereum L1, to
make the schemes that already fit far cheaper, and to do so as a client-only fork
with no re-genesis and no state migration.
## Specification
### Activation point
The AerePQC hard fork activated on mainnet chain 2800 at **block 9,189,161**
(2026-07-12). It is configured as a Besu `futureEips` milestone with activation
timestamp `futureEipsTime = 1783820272` (2026-07-12 01:37:52 UTC). Activation added
precompile behavior and the EIP-2935 write path only. It did NOT change how blocks
are proposed, signed, or committed: blocks are still produced and committed by the
QBFT validator set signing classical secp256k1 ECDSA committed seals.
### Native PQC precompiles
The fork registers five native precompiles that wrap the Bouncy Castle 1.83
BCPQC verifiers already present on the client classpath, behind a dedicated
classloader-isolation boundary so that Bouncy Castle 1.83 cannot collide with the
older Bouncy Castle that Besu bundles. There is zero new hand-rolled cryptography.
| Address | Precompile | Standard | Output |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000AE1` | Falcon-512 verify | NIST round-3 Falcon | valid / invalid |
| `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000AE2` | Falcon-1024 verify | NIST round-3 Falcon | valid / invalid |
| `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000AE3` | ML-DSA-44 verify | FIPS 204 (internal interface) | valid / invalid |
| `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000AE4` | SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s verify | FIPS 205 (internal interface) | valid / invalid |
| `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000AE5` | SHAKE256 | FIPS 202 XOF | requested output bytes |
Each verify precompile is a pure function of its input bytes: it parses a packed,
length-prefixed public key, signature, and message; reverts deterministically on
malformed structure; and otherwise returns a valid/invalid decision. SHAKE256
returns the requested number of output bytes. Because a precompile result feeds a
consensus-critical state transition, every node MUST return byte-identical output
for identical input; the verify paths used are deterministic and integer-only
(Falcon verification never touches the floating-point signing path).
The full input encodings, per-scheme parameters, revert-versus-`0x00` semantics, and
gas model are specified in `research/aip-draft-pqc-precompiles.md`. Gas figures
below are the values measured on the pre-activation scratch fork (chain 28099) and
carried to mainnet.
| Scheme | Marginal verify-op gas | Full verify-and-record tx gasUsed | Share of 16,777,216 cap |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SHAKE256 | 60 + 12/word | 21,470 | 0.13% |
| Falcon-512 | 40,000 | 86,336 | 0.51% |
| Falcon-1024 | 75,000 | 145,496 | 0.87% |
| ML-DSA-44 | 55,000 | 351,050 | 2.09% |
| SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s | 350,000 | 558,276 | 3.33% |
These figures move Falcon-1024 (about 21.7M gas in pure Solidity) and ML-DSA-44
(about 52.9M gas) from view-only to record-on-chain, and drop Falcon-512 from about
10.49M gas to 86,336.
### Native EIP-2935 (extended block-hash lookback)
The fork also activates the native EIP-2935 history-storage system contract at the
canonical address `0x0000F90827F1C53a10cb7A02335B175320002935`, a ring buffer of
the last 8191 block hashes. At the start of every block, the parent block hash is
written into slot `(number - 1) % 8191` by a consensus system call, before any user
transaction runs. There is no keeper, relayer, or Foundation key involved; the
write is a condition of block validity. Contracts read a hash by `STATICCALL` with
the 32-byte block number; a query outside the served window `[number - 8191,
number - 1]` reverts. At AERE's 0.5-second block time, 8191 blocks is roughly 68
minutes of trustless lookback, against the roughly 128 seconds the 256-block
`BLOCKHASH` opcode gives. The system contract's runtime bytecode is byte-identical
to Ethereum's Pectra deployment and was deployed post-genesis via the canonical
keyless "Nick's-method" transaction, so the block-0 state root is unchanged.
## Rationale
Native precompiles rather than more Solidity optimization: the pure-Solidity
verifiers are already heavily optimized (hand-written Keccak-f assembly) and the
remaining cost is intrinsic. Only native code removes it, which is the same
reasoning that justified RIP-7951 and EIP-2537 on Ethereum.
Wrapping a maintained, audited native library (Bouncy Castle) rather than
hand-rolling the verify keeps the security boundary at a reviewed implementation
plus a thin parsing adapter. The classloader-isolation boundary exists because Besu
bundles an older Bouncy Castle, and a naive classpath addition risks silently
binding the wrong implementation.
A single coordinated hard fork with no re-genesis was chosen over a chain restart
so the network kept its entire history, state, and validator keys, consistent with
the same discipline applied in AIP-3. Bundling EIP-2935 into the same activation
gave the network extended lookback and post-quantum verification in one scheduled
event. Keeping the same 16,777,216 per-transaction gas cap as Ethereum L1, rather
than raising a local gas limit, is deliberate: it is why the native precompile,
not an unbounded gas budget, is the correct fix.
The precompiles were placed at the `0x0AE1`..`0x0AE5` band already used on the
scratch fork, above the Ethereum standard precompiles, the EIP-2537 BLS12-381
range, and the RIP-7951 P-256 precompile at `0x100`, so upstream precompile
allocations do not collide. If upstream Ethereum later allocates into this band,
AERE will re-evaluate to preserve equivalence.
## Backwards Compatibility
None that breaks existing contracts. Before activation the five band addresses were
empty accounts and the EIP-2935 system address had no code; a call to any of them
behaved as a call to an empty address. After block 9,189,161 they behave as
precompiles and as the consensus-written history ring buffer. The pure-Solidity
verifiers documented in AIP-4 remain deployed and unchanged; contracts MAY migrate
to the precompiles for lower gas but are not required to. Integrators SHOULD gate
precompile use on chain height (past the activation block), not on probing.
Because AERE runs all validators under one operator and one client today,
activation was a flag-day upgrade of the client build across the validator set at
the fork block. A node that had not upgraded would compute different results for
calls into the band and fork off, so the upgrade was mandatory for all validators
and archive/RPC nodes at the fork block.
## Security Considerations
**This fork does not make AERE consensus post-quantum.** Validators continue to sign
classical secp256k1 QBFT committed seals. The precompiles are an application and
account layer capability. Any claim of post-quantum consensus on the basis of this
fork would be false and must not be made. Isolated-testnet work on a Falcon quorum
certificate and a second execution client is separate R&D and is not live on chain
2800.
**Single operator, one client.** Chain 2800 runs seven QBFT validators (f=2,
quorum 5-of-7), all Foundation-operated, on a single execution client (Hyperledger
Besu). Even at f=2, the validators are one operator and one client, so a consensus
bug in a precompile is not caught by client diversity, because there is no second
live client. This raises, not lowers, the bar for an external audit and for
extensive differential testing.
**Determinism and gas agreement.** Every node must compute the identical
accept/reject and the identical gas charge. The verify paths are deterministic and
integer-only, and the adapter reads no chain state or block context. Gas is priced
from native microbenchmarks so a precompile call cannot consume disproportionate
wall-clock time for its gas; malformed input reverts and consumes all supplied gas,
so it cannot be used as a cheap probe.
**A valid signature is not authorization.** A valid decision from a verify
precompile establishes only that the signature is valid for the given public key and
message. It does not establish freshness, ordering, replay protection, or key
ownership; consuming contracts (for example AerePQCAttestation) add their own nonce
and domain separation. For hash-based schemes with one-time-per-leaf state (XMSS,
WOTS+), a valid verification does not prove the signer has not reused a leaf.
**External audit pending.** The fork, the five precompiles, and the consuming
contracts carry an internal self-audit only. They have not undergone an external
security audit. Their assurance today rests on bit-for-bit agreement with the
official NIST KAT and ACVP vectors, cross-checks against independent
reimplementations (including a second execution client that runs the precompiles
byte-identically on an isolated testnet), and an on-chain end-to-end attestation.
They should not secure material value until an external audit lands.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
This is a client and chain-configuration change, so the precompile band and the
EIP-2935 system contract have no per-scheme deployment artifact of their own; the
authoritative artifact is the AERE Besu fork (base `hyperledger/besu:26.4.0`, gold
binary SHA-256 `7c5c0743088e9fa765d54c745814601b3c7a27a892e396156f88092b34c80772`)
and the chain history from block 9,189,161 onward.
On-chain evidence:
- **AerePQCAttestation** at `0x465d9E3b476BF98Aa1393079e240Db5D2a9bEA6A` (verbatim
from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`) is a permissionless, no-custody attestation
registry that verifies through the live precompiles. A real Falcon-1024 signature
(Bouncy Castle 1.83) was verified through the `0x0AE2` precompile and recorded on
mainnet: attestation tx `0xb659…9ec1`, block 9,200,542, gasUsed 692,206, status 1.
A transaction success alone proves the live precompile returned valid, because the
contract reverts `PQCVerificationFailed` otherwise.
- **AereCryptoRegistry** at `0xaE6fC596bb3eCcbf5c5D02D67B0Ef065b3Afbaa5`, a
crypto-agility registry over the five live precompiles.
- **AerePQCKeyRegistry** at `0x1eCa3c5ADcBD0b22636D8672b00faC6D89363691`
(proof-of-possession; `precompileFor(1) == 0x0ae1` confirmed on-chain), and
**AereThresholdPQCRegistry** at `0x9a6096F6FB3a7E54cF70DE12Cb3903Ae79D1C213`
(t-of-n post-quantum authorization via the precompiles).
- **EIP-2935 history contract** at `0x0000F90827F1C53a10cb7A02335B175320002935`,
deployed via the canonical keyless transaction
`0x67139a552b0d3fffc30c0fa7d0c20d42144138c8fe07fc5691f09c1cce632e15` (mined at
block 9,182,379, status 1); `eth_getCode` returns the canonical Pectra runtime,
which encodes the 8191-block (`0x1fff`) ring buffer.
All addresses above are copied verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`. The live
precompile band, its activation block, and the EIP-2935 window are verifiable on
`https://rpc.aere.network` (chain ID 2800): the current head is well past block
9,189,161, `eth_getCode` at the EIP-2935 address returns the 8191-block runtime, and
the recorded Falcon-1024 attestation is retrievable at block 9,200,542. The design
and gas model are specified in `research/aip-draft-pqc-precompiles.md`; the
pure-Solidity verifier suite that the precompiles accelerate is documented in AIP-4.

# AERE Improvement Proposals (AIPs)
An AIP (AERE Improvement Proposal) is a design document that describes a change
to the AERE Network (chain ID 2800), its contracts, its consensus parameters, or
its processes. An AIP records the motivation for a change, the exact mechanism,
the rationale for the design, and, when the change is already live, the on-chain
addresses and transactions that prove it exists.
AIPs are AERE's equivalent of Ethereum's EIP/ERC process. They exist so that any
reader, human or machine, can reconstruct why the chain works the way it does
from a single canonical, plain-text source instead of from marketing pages.
This directory is a local, self-contained scaffold. It is not published anywhere
and is not wired into any build or deployment. It is intended to be the seed of a
public AIP repository once the process is stable.
## What belongs in an AIP
- A protocol or consensus change (block time, fee routing, precompiles).
- A new contract standard or interface that other builders are expected to
integrate against.
- A token-standard or account-standard convention (ARC).
- A process or governance change (Meta).
Things that do not belong in an AIP: bug-fix redeploys that preserve an existing
interface (those are tracked in `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts` deprecation notes),
routine parameter tuning inside an already-ratified bound, and pure documentation.
## Lifecycle
An AIP moves through a small number of statuses. The happy path is
`Draft -> Review -> Last Call -> Final`. Standards that are never "done" (for
example a registry that keeps growing) settle in `Living` instead of `Final`.
| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Draft | The proposal is written and formatted correctly and has an author. It may still change substantially. |
| Review | The author has marked it ready for wider scrutiny. Open questions are being resolved. |
| Last Call | Final review window. A fixed review period is stated. If no blocking issue is raised, it advances. |
| Final | Accepted and, for already-shipped work, live on chain 2800. The mechanism is now stable and should not change in a breaking way. |
| Living | Accepted and expected to keep being updated (for example an index or a registry-style standard). |
| Withdrawn | The author or the editors abandoned the proposal. Terminal. |
| Stagnant | Inactive in Draft or Review for an extended period. Can be revived. |
Retro-filed AIPs (documents written after the change already shipped) enter
directly at `Final` or `Living` and carry a note that they are backfilling
history. AIP-2 through AIP-7 in this scaffold are retro-filed.
## Categories and types
Every Standards Track AIP names one category:
- **Core**: consensus, block production, fee/burn accounting, precompiles, and
anything that changes how the chain itself behaves. Requires a client or
genesis/config change.
- **Networking**: peer-to-peer protocol, sync, and node-to-node messaging.
- **Interface**: contract-level interfaces, ABIs, RPC conventions, and
verification surfaces that builders integrate against.
- **ARC (token standards)**: AERE Request for Comment. Application and token
standards, for example ERC-20/4626 receipt tokens and ERC-4337 account
conventions, as adopted on AERE.
- **Meta**: process, governance, and the AIP process itself.
Types: Standards Track (Core, Networking, Interface, ARC), Meta, and
Informational. Informational AIPs give guidance and do not mandate anything.
## Honest governance note (read this)
AERE is not yet trustlessly governed. Today the network runs seven validators
under a single operator, one client (Hyperledger Besu QBFT), no external security
audit, and thin real usage. In that reality an AIP is not ratified by an on-chain
vote of independent stakeholders. It is **Foundation-ratified**: the AERE
Foundation account (`0x0243A4f47D44b40b65D33f20329dE20D00c6f3C3`, a single-key
Foundation-controlled account, not a deployed multisig) is the final editor and
approver.
Every AIP that predates validator and client decentralization carries the label
**"Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization)"** so no reader mistakes editorial
ratification for trustless governance. As the validator set opens up and a second
client and independent stakers come online, the process is expected to migrate to
stake-weighted or validator-weighted ratification. That migration will itself be a
Meta AIP. Until then, the honest description of AERE governance is: a Foundation
publishes proposals, ships them, and records them here for public audit.
## How to file an AIP
1. Copy `aip-template.md` to `AIP-N.md`, where N is the next free integer.
2. Fill in every required section. Do not delete a section header; if a section
does not apply, write "None" under it.
3. Cite on-chain addresses verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`. Never invent
an address, a transaction hash, or a gas number. If a number has not been
measured, write "to be measured" rather than guessing.
4. Add a row to the index below.
5. Open it for editorial review. Until decentralization, the editor is the
Foundation.
## Index
| AIP | Title | Type / Category | Status | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [1](./AIP-1.md) | AIP Purpose and Process | Meta | Living | The process itself |
| [2](./AIP-2.md) | Coinbase Fee-Burn Routing (37.5%) | Standards Track / Core | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
| [3](./AIP-3.md) | Sub-Second Block Period (500 ms QBFT) | Standards Track / Core | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
| [4](./AIP-4.md) | On-Chain Post-Quantum Signature Verification Suite | Standards Track / Interface | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
| [5](./AIP-5.md) | sAERE Receipt Token and AereSink Immutable Flywheel | Standards Track / ARC | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
| [6](./AIP-6.md) | ERC-4337 Passkey and Gasless Onboarding Stack | Standards Track / ARC | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
| [7](./AIP-7.md) | AerePQC Hard-Fork Activation (Native PQC Precompiles and Extended EIP-2935 Lookback) | Standards Track / Core | Final | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization) |
## Conventions
- Files are named `AIP-N.md`.
- One AIP per change. If a change has a Core part and an application part, either
file two AIPs or state clearly which layer each section addresses.
- Addresses, transaction hashes, gas figures, and block numbers must be
reproducible from the chain or from a repo fixture. Marketing numbers (for
example a design-ceiling throughput) are never presented as measured results.

# AIP-N: Title in Title Case
## Preamble
| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| AIP | N |
| Title | Short descriptive title |
| Author | Name or handle |
| Type | Standards Track / Meta / Informational |
| Category | Core / Networking / Interface / ARC / (omit for Meta and Informational) |
| Status | Draft / Review / Last Call / Final / Living / Withdrawn / Stagnant |
| Created | YYYY-MM-DD |
| Requires | Comma-separated AIP numbers, or None |
| Ratification | Foundation-ratified (pre-decentralization), or the governance basis in force |
## Abstract
Two to four sentences. State what the AIP does in plain language. A reader should
understand the whole change from this paragraph alone.
## Motivation
Why this change is worth making. What problem it solves, who it helps, and what
goes wrong without it. Be concrete. If the change is already live, say what
prompted it.
## Specification
The exact, unambiguous mechanism. This is the normative section. For a contract
change, describe the interface, the state, the invariants, and the parameters
with their values. For a consensus change, give the exact configuration keys and
values and the activation point. Use MUST / SHOULD / MAY where a requirement is
binding on implementers.
For anything that touches gas or size, cite only numbers that are measured
on-chain or sourced from a repo fixture. Label any unmeasured number as
"to be measured".
## Rationale
Why the design is the way it is. Alternatives considered and why they were
rejected. Trade-offs accepted.
## Backwards Compatibility
What breaks, what does not, and how integrators migrate. "None" if nothing
breaks.
## Security Considerations
Attack surface, trust assumptions, and known weaknesses. This section is required
and must be honest. If the change depends on a trusted operator, a small
validator set, or an unaudited contract, say so here.
## Reference Implementation and On-Chain Deployment
For a live change: the contract source path(s) in this repo, the canonical
address(es) copied verbatim from `sdk-js/src/addresses.ts`, and the proving
transaction hashes and block numbers where available. For a not-yet-live change:
the branch or spec that implements it and the plan to ship.

* @title AereFalcon512Verifier, spec-complete NIST Falcon-512 signature verifier, on-chain
* @notice A REAL, standalone Falcon-512 (FIPS 206 / NIST PQC round-3) signature
* verifier that runs entirely on chain 2800. Given a public key, a
* message, and a signature, it performs the full Falcon verification:
*
* 1. HashToPoint: SHAKE256(nonce || message) is streamed and
* rejection-sampled into a challenge polynomial c in Z_q[x]/(x^512+1)
* (q = 12289), exactly per the reference hash_to_point_vartime.
* 2. Public-key decode: the 897-byte NIST public key (0x09 header + 512
* coefficients packed at 14 bits each) is decoded to h.
* 3. Signature decode: the compressed Gaussian encoding of s2 is decoded
* (Falcon comp_decode: sign bit, 7 low bits, unary high bits).
* 4. Recompute -s1 = s2*h - c in the ring (negacyclic convolution mod q),
* then center coefficients into (-q/2, q/2].
* 5. Norm check: accept iff ||(s1, s2)||^2 <= floor(beta^2) = 34034726,
* the Falcon-512 acceptance bound.
*
* This is the actual lattice/hash cryptography, executed on-chain, not a
* proof-of-a-proof. It is validated bit-for-bit against the OFFICIAL NIST
* Falcon-512 Known-Answer-Test vectors (falcon512-KAT.rsp, SHA-256
* dd75c946...b5cd, reproduced byte-for-byte from the round-3 reference):
* real (pk, message, signature) triples verify true; tampered signatures
* verify false.
*
* The chain's block gas limit is effectively unlimited, so the full
* verification runs as an ordinary transaction; there is no trusted
* prover and no off-chain step. Anyone can call verify() and get the same
* accept/reject the reference C implementation produces.

# AERE consensus, machine-checked SAFETY + LIVENESS verification (with Falcon quorum extension)
Date: 2026-07-12 · Scope: AERE QBFT / IBFT 2.0 (Hyperledger Besu, chain 2800) consensus and its
staged Falcon-512 quorum-certificate extension (log-only + blocking).
This is a **credibility artifact** for the audit. Everything below actually **runs** and is
**re-runnable** in seconds. No mainnet node or key was touched to produce it.
---
## 1. Tool used
Primary: **z3 (SMT), version 4.16.0**, Python 3.14.4 bindings, on Windows (MSYS2/MINGW64).
The models follow the established `formal-consensus/*_smt.py` convention: each property is discharged
by proving its **negation UNSAT** under the exact protocol guards, and **every proof is paired with a
firing NEGATIVE CONTROL** (a deliberately broken variant whose violation is **SAT**) so the results
are demonstrably **non-vacuous**.
Why z3 and not TLA+/TLC: TLC/Apalache need a JVM. **Java is not installed on this workstation**, so
TLC/Apalache could not be set up *cleanly* here (the task permits z3/SMT in that case). z3 4.16.0 is
present and the surrounding `formal-consensus/` directory is already an SMT corpus, so z3 is the
rigorous core.
Secondary cross-check: **Quint 0.32.0** randomized simulator over the pre-existing `FalconQuorum.qnt`
(the Apalache-targeted TLA+‑family spec of the Falcon quorum combinatorics). Quint's *symbolic*
backend is Apalache (JVM, absent), so this is **randomized sampling, not a proof**, it is reported
only as an independent sanity cross-check of the z3 results.
---
## 2. Files (all under `aerenew/formal-consensus/`)
| File | What it verifies |
|---|---|
| `qbft_safety_smt.py` | **SAFETY / agreement**, no two different blocks committed at one height, `<= f` Byzantine equivocation. L1 intersection lemma (all N) + L2 one-round + L3 cross-round (IBFT 2.0 locking). |
| `falcon_logonly_noop_smt.py` | **Falcon LOG-ONLY no-op**, the certificate changes neither any block hash nor the committable set. |
| `falcon_blocking_smt.py` | **Falcon BLOCKING**, safety under `<= f` Falcon faults, liveness at the fault bound, and the machine-checked reason **N ≥ 7** is required. |
| `qbft_liveness_smt.py` | **LIVENESS** under partial synchrony (post-GST round-change progress). |
| `qbft_prepare_counting_smt.py` | **2026-07-14 second-client bug + fix**, Besu's explicit-Prepare quorum rule ⇒ a proposer omitting its self-Prepare deadlocks at D=f; the fix restores liveness (all N) and is safety-neutral. |
| `qbft_digest_keyed_smt.py` | **2026-07-14 Finding-A shipped fix**: DIGEST-KEYED vote tally: prepare/commit tallies keyed by digest so prepares cast for an old proposal digest D0 can never be counted toward a conflicting D1 at the same (height,round). Removes the unjustified-quorum / cross-client fork; negative control fires on the flat-set bug. |
| `qbft_locking_smt.py` | **2026-07-14 Findings D/E**: IBFT 2.0 round-change locking with the two engine roles (PROPOSER re-proposes the highest prepared value; ACCEPTOR refuses an unjustified round>0 proposal) as explicit variables mapping 1:1 onto the C# fix. Proves the second client MUST enforce acceptor-side locking before it can produce. |
| `run_consensus_verification.py` | one-command runner for all seven SMT models (single PASS/FAIL). |
| `FalconQuorum.qnt` | pre-existing Quint/Apalache spec (secondary randomized cross-check). |
---
## 3. What was proven, exact configs and results
Besu formulas used throughout: **quorum(N) = ceil(2N/3)** (`fastDivCeiling(2N,3)`), **BFT fault bound
f(N) = floor((N-1)/3)**. For N=4→q=3,f=1 · N=5→q=4,f=1 · N=7→q=5,f=2.
### 3.1 SAFETY (agreement), `qbft_safety_smt.py` → all PROVED, all neg-controls fired
- **L1 quorum-intersection lemma, UNBOUNDED in N (PROVED, unsat):** for **every** N≥1,
`2·quorum(N) − N ≥ f(N)+1`. Since any two quorums overlap in `≥ 2q−N` validators
(inclusion–exclusion), any two commit quorums share **> f** validators, hence **≥ 1 honest**
validator. This is a genuine all-N proof (linear integer arithmetic / Presburger, decidable).
- **L2 one-round agreement, bounded, N ∈ {4,5,7,10,13,16} (PROVED, unsat):** explicit per-validator
COMMIT with an **equivocating** Byzantine adversary (faulty may double-sign both blocks), `|faulty| ≤ f`.
Two distinct blocks cannot both reach a `ceil(2N/3)` COMMIT quorum.
- **L3 cross-round agreement, bounded, N ∈ {4,5,7,10,13}, R=3 rounds (PROVED, unsat):** faithful
per-validator model of IBFT 2.0 **locking / round-change justification** (honest validators only
PREPARE the highest previously-prepared value; the lock is sound because a round-change quorum
intersects every earlier prepare-quorum in an honest node, L1). Even across round changes, no two
rounds commit different values.
- **NEGATIVE CONTROLS (all CEX-FOUND / sat):** lowering the quorum to `ceil(N/2)` breaks L1
(intersection can be ≤ f, witness N=2) and L2 (two blocks both "commit" at N=4); **dropping the
lock** breaks L3 (a later round commits a different value). This proves the `ceil(2N/3)` quorum and
the locking rule are **load-bearing**, the model genuinely catches unsafety.
### 3.2 Falcon LOG-ONLY no-op, `falcon_logonly_noop_smt.py` → all PROVED, both neg-controls fired
Under **A2 (keccak injective)**, with the certificate excluded from every hashed pre-image and never
gating finality before the fork:
- **N1 (PROVED):** the block hash is invariant to the Falcon certificate (cert is outside the
pre-image → two headers differing only in the cert hash identically).
- **N2 / N3 (PROVED):** committability, and the whole **set of committable blocks**, are identical
with the log-only cert enabled vs. the baseline (no Falcon layer), a **strict no-op**.
- **NEGATIVE CONTROLS (CEX-FOUND):** a pre-image that *includes* the cert makes the hash
cert-dependent; a log-only rule that *gates* on the cert changes the committable set. So the
exclusion and the always-true gate are load-bearing. This is exactly the **mainnet (chain 2800)**
posture: log-only, additive, non-gating, **zero halt risk**.
### 3.3 Falcon BLOCKING, `falcon_blocking_smt.py` → all PROVED/expected, neg-controls fired
- **B-SAFETY, bounded, N ∈ {4,5,7} (PROVED, unsat):** in blocking mode `≤ f` Falcon-key-faulty
validators (allowed to **equivocate**, a valid own-key seal on both conflicting blocks) can never
certify two conflicting blocks.
- **B-LIVENESS at the fault bound, UNBOUNDED (PROVED, unsat):** `N − f(N) ≥ quorum(N)` for all N, so
the honest+correct set alone can always form a certificate.
- **THRESHOLD, why N ≥ 7 (machine-checked):**
- **T1 (PROVED):** no N ∈ {4,5,6} is **both** safe (`f≥2`) **and** live (`N−2 ≥ q`) against **2**
simultaneous Falcon faults; **N=7 is** (f=2, N−2=5 ≥ q=5). N=7 is the smallest validator set that
survives 2 Falcon faults safely and live-ly.
- **T2:** the single-fault liveness margin `(N−1)−quorum(N)` is **0 exactly at N ∈ {4,5}** (proved
unsat that it is nonzero) and **≥ 1 at N ≥ 6** (config). At the proved zero-margin sizes N ∈ {4,5},
one Falcon fault would force *all* remaining honest validators to sign every block, which is why
the set was grown past 5. The **live mainnet size is N=7** (verified on-chain 2026-07-16 via
`qbft_getValidatorsByBlockNumber`; f=2, quorum 5), the next BFT-optimal 3f+1, which has positive
single-fault margin and tolerates 2 faults.
- **T3 (STALL, reachable/sat):** at **N=5 with 2 Falcon-faulty** the correct set (3) is below quorum
(4) → **no certificate can form → post-fork chain stalls**. At N=7 the same 2 faults still leave
quorum (5 = 5) → no stall (PROVED unsat that it stalls). This is precisely why blocking is gated
on N ≥ 7 + re-genesis.
- **NEGATIVE CONTROLS (CEX-FOUND):** dropping the `≤ f` bound, or lowering the quorum to `ceil(N/2)`,
lets two conflicting blocks both be certified, the assumption and the quorum are load-bearing.
### 3.4 LIVENESS under partial synchrony, `qbft_liveness_smt.py` → all PROVED/expected, neg-ctrl fired
Premise (**assumed, not proven**, it is the protocol's own premise): **partial synchrony / post-GST**
message delivery within an (adaptively growing) round timeout. Asynchronous liveness is impossible
(FLP); we do not claim it.
- **L-PROGRESS, bounded, N ∈ {4,5,7} (PROVED, unsat):** with round-robin `proposer(r)=r mod N`, any
window of `f+1` consecutive rounds contains an **honest** proposer (`≤ f` faulty cannot cover `f+1`
distinct proposers; `f+1 ≤ N` checked).
- **L-COMMIT, UNBOUNDED + per-N witnesses (PROVED / sat):** an honest proposer's round commits
because the honest set alone `N−f ≥ quorum` reaches PREPARE+COMMIT quorum.
- **NEGATIVE CONTROL (CEX-FOUND):** with `f+1` faulty, a whole `f+1`-round window can be all-faulty
proposers → no guaranteed progress, the `≤ f` bound is load-bearing for liveness too.
### 3.5 Secondary cross-check, Quint `FalconQuorum.qnt` (randomized, not a proof)
- `safety`: **no violation** over 20k random samples on **n4/n5/n7**.
- `safetyNoAssumption` (drop `≤ f`): **violation found**, matches z3 neg-control.
- `configTheorems` (livenessAtF ∧ haltAtFplus1): **no violation** on n4/n5/n7.
- `noHaltAtFplus1` (the f+1 halt witness): **violation found** on n4/n5/n7, the stall is reachable.
---
## 4. Honest boundary (what this does and does NOT establish)
- **Bounded vs. unbounded.** L1, B-LIVENESS, L-COMMIT and the threshold arithmetic are **unbounded**
(proved for **all N** via decidable linear integer arithmetic). L2, L3, B-SAFETY, L-PROGRESS are
**bounded model checks** over the stated finite configs (N ∈ {4,5,7}; L3 uses R=3 rounds). **A
bounded model check is a decision procedure over that finite configuration, not a proof for all N
or all-length executions.** Stated plainly and deliberately.
- **Partial synchrony is assumed**, not proven, liveness holds only post-GST (standard for QBFT/IBFT
and every partially-synchronous BFT protocol; FLP forbids asynchronous liveness).
- **Design combinatorics, not the Besu Java bytecode.** These models check the QBFT/IBFT 2.0 and
Falcon-certificate **design math** (message quorums, locking, certificate counting). They do not
execute or symbolically analyze the compiled Besu code. The complementary evidence for the Java
layer is the consensus unit-test suite and the isolated-testnet runs recorded in
`../consensus-pqc/QUORUM-DESIGN.md`.
- **Mainnet consensus is classical ECDSA QBFT at N=7, with NO Falcon layer of any kind.** Chain 2800
QBFT is signed with **classical ECDSA** (live set N=7, f=2, quorum 5, verified on-chain); it is
**not** post-quantum. **There is no Falcon certificate, not even log-only, in any mainnet header**
(verified: mainnet `extraData` is byte-identical to upstream Besu, with no Falcon list). The Falcon
**log-only** no-op (§3.2) and **blocking** mode (§3.3) are **isolated-testnet R&D** (chainIds 220744
/ 330855, N=4), never live on chain 2800; blocking additionally requires **N ≥ 7 + a re-genesis**
carrying a Falcon anchor. Nothing here claims mainnet consensus is post-quantum, and nothing here is
live on mainnet.
- **Cryptographic soundness of Falcon-512 is out of scope** (covered by NIST KATs + the live PQC
precompile / `eth_call`, not by these combinatorial models). B-SAFETY assumes a faulty node can at
most equivocate with its *own* key; it cannot forge another validator's seal.
---
## 4b. The 2026-07-14 second-client interop bug + fix, machine-checked (`qbft_prepare_counting_smt.py`)
Added 2026-07-14. During the second-execution-client work (a patched Nethermind QBFT block
**producer** interoperating with Besu on an isolated testnet), a real interop defect was found in the
field, fixed, and confirmed by adversarial soaks (0 forks; Besu-parity throughput after the fix). This
model turns that bug + fix into a re-runnable formal artifact and proves the fix is **safe**.
**The defect.** Besu tallies the PREPARE quorum from **explicit Prepare messages** and does **not**
count the Proposal as an implicit self-Prepare from the proposer. The Nethermind proposer emitted a
Proposal but no explicit self-Prepare, leaving every block it proposed **one Prepare short** of
quorum → never committed → the chain stalled. **The fix:** the proposer now also broadcasts an
explicit self-Prepare (round 0 and round>0) in `AereQbftLiveEngine.cs`.
**Why it bit only at the fault boundary (the arithmetic the model proves).** With `D` validators down
and the proposer alive, explicit Prepares available are `N−D−1` (buggy) or `N−D` (fixed). At the
boundary `D=f` and optimal size `N=3f+1`: alive `A = N−f = 2f+1 = quorum(N)`. So the **buggy** count
is `A−1 = 2f = quorum−1` (one short → deadlock even with *every* alive validator honest), while the
**fixed** count is `A = 2f+1 = quorum` (commits). For `D<f` the buggy rule still clears quorum, which
is exactly why the defect only surfaced under the kill-2 (f=2) adversarial soak, never in the healthy
set.
| Property | Result |
|---|---|
| **P1, buggy rule ⇒ guaranteed stall at D=f** (N=3f+1 ∈ {4,7,10,13}): with all alive validators honest and preparing, the explicit-Prepare count **cannot** reach quorum | **PROVED (unsat)** |
| **P1-neg, fixed rule, same config, IS committable** (proposer self-Prepares → quorum reachable) | **CEX-FOUND (sat)**, the missing self-Prepare is the whole cause |
| **P2, fixed rule ⇒ liveness restored for ALL N** (unbounded Presburger): `N − f(N) ≥ quorum(N)` at the boundary | **PROVED (unsat)** |
| **P2-neg, buggy count `N−f−1 < quorum(N)` for some N** (a real deadlock exists) | **CEX-FOUND (sat)**, self-Prepare is load-bearing |
| **P3, fixed rule PRESERVES SAFETY** (N ∈ {4,7,10,13}): the proposer's one extra honest Prepare (to its single proposed value) cannot make two distinct values both reach quorum under ≤ f equivocating Byzantine | **PROVED (unsat)** |
| **P3-neg, lowering quorum to ceil(N/2) breaks safety** (two values both commit) | **CEX-FOUND (sat)**, the `ceil(2N/3)` threshold, unchanged by the fix, is what carries safety |
**16 checks: 8 PROVED, 8 negative controls fired.** So the fix **restores liveness for all N** and is
**safety-neutral** (safety rests on the quorum threshold, invariant to whether the proposer's Prepare
is implicit or explicit). This is consistent with, and explains, the empirical result: 0 forks
throughout and Besu-parity throughput once the self-Prepare lands. Honest boundary: P1/P3 are bounded
per-N checks, P2 an unbounded identity; this models the QBFT Prepare-tally **design combinatorics**,
not the Besu/Nethermind bytecode.

## 5. How to re-run
From `aerenew/formal-consensus/`:
```bash
# one command: runs all seven models, prints a single PASS/FAIL, exit 0 on success
python run_consensus_verification.py
# or individually (each prints PROVED / CEX-FOUND lines and exits 0 on success)
python qbft_safety_smt.py
python falcon_logonly_noop_smt.py
python falcon_blocking_smt.py
python qbft_liveness_smt.py
python qbft_prepare_counting_smt.py # 2026-07-14 second-client bug + fix
python qbft_digest_keyed_smt.py # 2026-07-14 Finding-A shipped fix (digest-keyed tally)
python qbft_locking_smt.py # 2026-07-14 Findings D/E (engine-role IBFT locking)
# optional secondary cross-check (randomized simulation, needs quint; NOT a proof)
quint run FalconQuorum.qnt --main=n7 --invariant=safety --max-samples=20000 --max-steps=1
quint run FalconQuorum.qnt --main=n7 --invariant=safetyNoAssumption --max-samples=20000 --max-steps=1 # expect violation
quint run FalconQuorum.qnt --main=n5 --invariant=noHaltAtFplus1 --max-samples=20000 --max-steps=1 # expect violation (halt witness)
```
Requirements: `pip install z3-solver` (proved with **z3 4.16.0**); optional `npm i -g @informalsystems/quint`
(**0.32.0**). To reproduce the TLA+/Apalache symbolic path instead, run `FalconQuorum.qnt` through
`quint verify` on a box with a JVM (e.g. the infra box), the arithmetic and the results are identical.
---
## 6. One-line verdict
QBFT/IBFT 2.0 **agreement** (no two different blocks at one height under `≤ f` equivocating Byzantine
validators) is machine-checked, unbounded via quorum intersection and bounded across N ∈ {4,5,7,10,13,16}
including cross-round locking; **liveness** holds under partial synchrony; the Falcon **log-only**
certificate is a **proven strict no-op** (mainnet posture, zero halt risk); Falcon **blocking** is
safe and live at the fault bound and its **N ≥ 7** requirement is machine-checked. The **2026-07-14
second-client interop bug** (Besu counts only explicit Prepares → a proposer that omits its self-Prepare
deadlocks at exactly the D=f boundary) and its **fix** (proposer broadcasts an explicit self-Prepare)
are machine-checked: the fix restores liveness for **all N** and is **safety-neutral**. Every proof is
backed by a firing negative control. Boundaries (bounded model-check, partial-synchrony assumption,
design-not-bytecode, mainnet-is-classical-ECDSA-log-only) are stated honestly.

//
// FORMAL MODEL of the AERE post-fork Falcon quorum-certificate consensus rule.
//
// Models the DESIGN described in consensus-pqc/QUORUM-DESIGN.md and implemented
// by FalconSealValidationRule (besu-consensus-pqc-quorum.patch):
//
// * There are N QBFT validators, each holding a Falcon-512 keypair.
// * When a validator commits a block it ALSO Falcon-signs the same commit hash
// and gossips the seal (validatorIndex, signature).
// * A post-fork ("blocking") block is VALID iff its embedded certificate carries
// >= quorum(N) DISTINCT valid Falcon seals from registered validators over the
// correct commit hash. (Java: calculateRequiredValidatorQuorum(N) = ceil(2N/3).)
// * ECDSA committed seals still govern in parallel; this model isolates the
// ADDED Falcon-quorum gate — the new safety/liveness surface.
//
// Adversary model (Falcon layer):
// * An HONEST validator signs at most one block per height and only produces
// seals that verify -> it can be counted toward at most ONE of two conflicting
// blocks.
// * A FALCON-FAULTY validator is one whose seal does NOT count toward an honest
// quorum: either it emits a signature that fails verification (registry
// mismatch / crash / correlated impl defect) OR it equivocates. A faulty
// node that equivocates CAN place a valid seal on BOTH conflicting blocks
// (it holds its own key), so it counts toward both.
//
// This is a check of the DESIGN's combinatorics, NOT of the Besu Java code.
// It never asserts anything about mainnet consensus (chain 2800 consensus is
// classical ECDSA QBFT; the Falcon quorum is not activated there).

# This COMPLEMENTS formal-consensus/agentdid_session_smt.py (which proved the
# cumulative spend cap C1, the general liveness gate C2, the anti-replay nonce C3, and
# terminal expiry C4). Here we prove the two properties the build task calls out that
# the session model did not make explicit:
# D1 A session DIES the moment its Falcon ROOT is ROTATED or REVOKED (the liveness
# check re-reads the registry on every call; a non-ACTIVE / non-Falcon root makes
# _isSessionLive false, so authorize / isSessionValid / remainingSpend all fail).
# D2 ONLY THE CONTROLLER MUTATES the DID/session LIFECYCLE:
# - createAgent requires msg.sender == the registry owner of the root key;
# - revokeSession requires msg.sender == the CURRENT registry owner of the root;
# - spend is recorded ONLY with a valid session-key ECDSA signature
# (signer == sessionAddr), never by an arbitrary caller.
# D3 A session cannot OUTLIVE its expiry nor EXCEED its cap (restated jointly here as
# the containment envelope, cross-checking the session model).
#
# Style: PROVED = negation UNSAT under the exact Solidity guards; each paired with a
# firing NEGATIVE CONTROL.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED):
# A1. ecrecover is a sound signature oracle (returns sessionAddr ONLY for a genuine
# session-key signature over the exact digest). Out of scope; same class as the
# halmos precompile-oracle assumption. The gating proofs hold for BOTH branches.
# A2. The registry read (getKey) reflects the root key's TRUE current status; the
# contract re-reads it on every liveness check (no stale cache) -- this is the

#
# SMT proof (z3) of the SESSION AUTHORIZATION invariants for AereAgentDID: the
# per-session cumulative SPEND CAP, the expiry / revocation / root-lifecycle
# gating, and the anti-replay action nonce.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/pqc/AereAgentDID.sol (authorize / issueSession /
# revokeSession / _isSessionLive)
#
# This is a hot-key authorization surface: a leaked secp256k1 session key must be
# contained by (a) a cumulative spend cap it can never exceed, (b) an expiry after
# which it stops working, (c) an on-chain revocation, (d) its root Falcon key still
# being ACTIVE, and (e) a strictly-increasing action nonce so a captured signature
# cannot be replayed. We model authorize() as an inductive transition system on
# (spent, actionNonce) with the exact Solidity guards.
#
# Per session:
# cap = spendCap (immutable at issuance)
# spent = cumulative spend recorded so far
# n = actionNonce
# live = exists AND NOT revoked AND now <= expiry AND rootActive AND rootFalcon
#
# authorize(amount) Solidity guards, then effects:
# require live (_isSessionLive)
# require scope == scopeHash (scope gate)
# require spent+amount >= spent AND spent+amount <= cap (overflow + CAP gate)
# require ecrecover(...) == sessionAddr (sig gate)
# s.actionNonce = n + 1; s.spent = spent + amount
#
# SPEND-CAP INVARIANT (task target): spent <= cap, ALWAYS.
# NONCE INVARIANT (anti-replay): actionNonce strictly increases on every
# successful authorize, so no two successful actions share a digest.
# GATING INVARIANT: a non-live session (revoked / expired / root-inactive) can
# NEVER record spend (authorize reverts, state unchanged).
#
# Method: PROVED = negation UNSAT under guards. NEG-CTRL = buggy variant's
# violation SAT (real counterexample => guard is load-bearing).
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED):
# A1. ecrecover is a sound signature oracle: it returns sessionAddr ONLY for a
# genuine session-key signature over the exact digest. Its cryptographic
# soundness is out of scope (same class as the halmos precompile-oracle
# assumption). We model the sig gate as a boolean the adversary can only
# satisfy with a real signature; the cap/nonce/gating proofs hold for BOTH
# branches (sig ok / not ok), i.e. regardless of what ecrecover returns.
# A2. spendCap is fixed at issuance and never mutated (confirmed: no setter).
# A3. Design math (unbounded Ints). Solidity 0.8 checked add on spent+amount is
# modelled by the explicit overflow guard already present in the source.

# authorization "agent may spend up to maxAmount of token over [periodStart,
# periodEnd] for purpose Q"; authorizeSpend records a draw against the mandate's
# cumulative cap. Plus load-bearing NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the cap check, the
# expiry check, and the post-fix L3 executor gate.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/erc8004/AereAP2MandateVerifier.sol
#
# spentUnder[mh] is the cumulative amount already authorized under mandate hash mh.
# authorizeSpend(m, amount, sig) fail-closes on each of these guards (else revert,

# then spentUnder[mh] = next.
#
# CAP-SOLVENCY INVARIANT (the task target):
# INV(mh) := 0 <= spentUnder[mh] <= maxAmount
#
# INV means the total authorized spend under a mandate NEVER exceeds its cap over
# the whole window, no matter how many times authorizeSpend is called; an expired
# (or not-yet-valid) mandate authorizes NOTHING; and once SETTLEMENT_EXECUTOR is
# configured (production, per the L3 fix) only that executor can consume the cap,
# so the open replay path is closed.
#
# Method: for each op, check INV(pre) AND guards AND post = op(pre) AND NOT INV(post)
# is UNSAT. UNSAT => the op cannot break the invariant. Amounts / times are unbounded
# Ints (the accounting/design abstraction, matching solc SMTChecker's default int
# model); the uint256 checked-add overflow guard E7 (next >= already) is stated as a
# guard but is belt-and-suspenders under unbounded positive amounts. This checks the
# DESIGN math, NOT the compiled EVM bytecode.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED below):
# A1. Falcon-512 signature validity (E6) is produced by the LIVE native precompile
# at 0x0AE1 through AerePQCKeyRegistry.verifyWithKey; its soundness (EUF-CMA of
# Falcon-512, correct precompile parsing, empty-return-is-invalid on a pre-fork
# node) is a trusted primitive [VERIFY], modelled as the sigValid predicate,
# not re-proved here.
# A2. mandateHash binds MANDATE_DOMAIN + chainId + this contract + the mandate
# fields, so a signed mandate cannot be replayed against another verifier or
# chain; keccak256 injectivity is [VERIFY], modelled as equality of the hash.
# A3. This contract holds NO funds: the cap is accounting, the AERE402 rail moves
# value. The vector the L3 gate closes is cap-exhaustion griefing, not theft.

# S0 controller-only: msg.sender == l.controller (NotController)
# S1 in range: index < l.capacity (IndexOutOfRange)
# S2 no silent no-op: current != value (NoStatusChange)
# S3 terminal revocation: NOT (purpose == Revocation AND value == false)
# (RevocationIsTerminal)
# then _setBit(index, value) and epoch += 1.
#
# REVOCATION MONOTONICITY (the target):
# on a Revocation list, the only enabled bit transition is 0 -> 1, so once a
# credential's status bit is 1 (revoked) it can NEVER return to 0 (un-revoked).
#
# Method: model the guards + the single-bit update as first-order constraints and
# prove each property by asserting its NEGATION under the guards (UNSAT). Bit isolation
# uses the standard frame relation over an uninterpreted index->bit function (as in the
# append-only models). Each NEG-CTRL removes exactly one guard and shows the attack
# becomes SAT. Suspension reversibility is intentional and is NOT a safety violation,
# so the monotonicity property is asserted ONLY for Revocation lists. This checks the
# DESIGN-level state logic, NOT the compiled EVM bytecode.
#
# NOTE (honest scope). The zero-knowledge NON-REVOCATION path (verifyNonRevocation +
# the SP1 circuit) is [MEASURE]: the circuit is pending and the on-chain path is fail-
# closed off until a verifier + vkey are configured; its constructor codeless-verifier
# guard (L1) and fail-closed binding are covered by the aere-pq-screen Hardhat tests,
# not modelled here. This model covers the fully-implemented on-chain bit mechanics.

#
# SMT proof (z3) of the ESCROW-SOLVENCY invariant for AereComputeMarketV3, the
# proof-carrying DePIN compute marketplace. Plus a load-bearing NEGATIVE CONTROL
# for the per-asset accounting (fee-on-transfer under-funding) and one for the
# ZK_VERIFIED pay-only-on-proof gate.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/depin/AereComputeMarketV3.sol
#
# We model the per-asset accounting as an inductive transition system and prove
# the safety invariant is INDUCTIVE (base case + every fund-moving op preserves
# it). Each Solidity `require`/revert is a guard; Solidity 0.8 checked arithmetic
# is modelled as "underflow reverts (no state change)".
#
# Per asset T (T = address(0) is native AERE, else an allowlisted ERC-20):
# bal[T] = balance the contract actually holds in T
# (address(this).balance for native, balanceOf(this) for ERC-20)
# liab[T] = totalLiabilities[T] -- the sum of every OPEN job reward in T
# PLUS every posted provider/challenger bond in T
#
# Note the asset routing that the model must respect (from the contract):
# - a job reward is escrowed in its own `token` and added to liab[token];
# - EVERY bond (provider + challenger) is native AERE, added to liab[0].
# So native liabilities carry (native-token rewards) + (ALL bonds), while an
# ERC-20 asset carries only its own rewards. There is no cross-asset mixing:
# each reward is added to exactly one asset once, each bond to native once.
#
# ESCROW-SOLVENCY INVARIANT (the task target, contract's isSolvent()):
# INV(T) := bal[T] >= liab[T] AND liab[T] >= 0
#
# INV(T) for every asset => every open job's reward and every posted bond is
# always fully backed by the contract's balance in that asset, so every payout
# path (settle / cancel / reclaim / resolveDispute) can always pay out, and a
# permissionless observer can never drive the balance below what is owed.
#
# Method: for each op OP, check INV(pre) AND guards AND post=OP(pre) AND
# NOT INV(post) is UNSAT. UNSAT => OP cannot break the invariant.
# Unbounded Ints = the accounting/design abstraction (matches solc SMTChecker's
# default int model). This checks the DESIGN math, NOT the EVM bytecode.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED below):
# A1. Standard ERC20: safeTransferFrom credits exactly `amount`, safeTransfer
# debits exactly `amount`. postJob explicitly REJECTS fee-on-transfer /
# rebasing tokens (received != reward reverts BadReward), so this holds by
# construction for the escrow; the NEG-CTRL below shows why that check is
# load-bearing.
# A2. There is NO protocol fee and NO owner/sweep in this contract: a reward is
# escrowed in full and paid in full; the only actors that touch a job's
# escrow are the requester (cancel/reclaim), the provider (settle), the
# challenger (dispute) and the arbiter (resolveDispute, route-only). So each
# op's balance delta equals its liability delta on the same asset.
# A3. A job's reward/bond, once added to liab at post/claim/dispute, remains a
# summand of liab until its single terminal op removes it; the per-op guards
# (amt <= liab portions) are exactly the Solidity checked-sub guards, which
# hold because the item removed is itself a summand of liab.

# credential_registry_smt.py
#
# SMT proof (z3) of the FAIL-CLOSED trust guarantees of Aere Network's federated
# compliance passport: AereTrustRegistry (the accredited-issuer trusted list) and
# AereVerifiableCredential (the W3C VC 2.0 anchor + verifier). Plus load-bearing
# NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the accreditation gate and the append-only status history.
#
# Contracts: contracts/contracts/compliance/AereTrustRegistry.sol
# contracts/contracts/compliance/AereVerifiableCredential.sol
#
# The safety-critical, fail-closed guarantees modelled here:
# A. ISSUANCE requires accreditation. anchorCredential() records a credential ONLY
# if the issuer isAccredited(issuerId, type) == true, i.e. status == Active AND
# the credential type is in the issuer's scope, AND the issuer's Falcon-512
# signature over the credential digest verifies (via the live precompile 0x0AE1
# through the Trust Registry). A non-accredited issuer cannot issue.
# B. APPEND-ONLY status history. Every status transition is pushed to an append-only
# log; a committed record is never rewritten (the current status is a pointer,
# the history is immutable).
# C. TERMINAL revocation. Revoked is terminal: no transition path returns a revoked
# issuer to Active (revoke has no inverse; reinstate only lifts Suspended).
# D. FAIL-CLOSED verification. isValid()/verifyPresented() return true ONLY when the
# issuer is (still) accredited, the credential is within its validity window, and
# it is not revoked on its Bitstring Status List entry; expired, not-yet-valid,
# revoked, or un-accredited all resolve to NOT valid, never a false positive.
#
# Status enum (Solidity): None=0, Active=1, Suspended=2, Revoked=3.
#
# We model the guards / transitions as first-order constraints and prove each
# property by asserting its NEGATION and showing z3 returns UNSAT. Each NEG-CTRL
# removes exactly one guard and shows the corresponding attack becomes SAT.
# Append-only history is modelled with the standard "writes only push" relation
# over an uninterpreted index->value function. This checks the DESIGN-level logic,
# NOT the compiled EVM bytecode.

# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) analysis of the AERE Falcon-512 quorum certificate in
# BLOCKING mode (post-fork): a block is VALID only if it carries >= quorum(N)
# DISTINCT valid Falcon seals over the correct commit hash
# (FalconSealValidationRule; consensus-pqc/QUORUM-DESIGN.md sec 3, 6).
#
# This is the z3 counterpart of formal-consensus/FalconQuorum.qnt (which targets
# Apalache/TLC and needs Java). It RUNS locally on z3 and proves:
# B-SAFETY in blocking mode, <= f Falcon-key-faulty validators (which may
# EQUIVOCATE -- place a valid own-key seal on BOTH conflicting
# blocks) can never certify two conflicting blocks. N in {4,5,7}.
# B-LIVENESS at the fault bound, the honest+correct set (N-f) still reaches
# quorum, so a certificate can always form. Proved UNBOUNDED (all N)
# and per-N for {4,5,7}.
# THRESHOLD WHY N>=7 is required to make blocking safe: N>=7 is the smallest
# validator count that is BOTH safe (f>=2) AND live (N-2>=quorum)
# against 2 simultaneous Falcon faults; and a SINGLE Falcon fault
# leaves strictly-more-than-quorum correct signers (liveness margin
# > 0) only at N>=7. At N in {4,5} blocking can STALL (shown SAT).
#
# Besu quorum: quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3); BFT fault bound f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
#
# HONEST BOUNDARY: B-SAFETY per-N is a BOUNDED check; the intersection lemma and
# the N-f>=quorum liveness identity are UNBOUNDED (all N). This is the certificate
# COMBINATORICS of the design, not the Besu Java code, and NOT mainnet: chain
# 2800 runs classical ECDSA QBFT and the Falcon layer there is LOG-ONLY, not
# blocking (blocking requires N>=7 + a re-genesis with a Falcon anchor).

# AUD-CONSENSUS-1 / -2 FIX: registry size M DECOUPLED from validator count N.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The reviewed defect: the blocking quorum tracked the DYNAMIC validator-set size
# N (quorum = ceil(2N/3)) while the signer registry was IMMUTABLE at its anchored
# size M=N0, and seals were counted by REGISTRY membership (not current-validator
# membership). So (a) adding a validator raised the quorum above the fixed key
# count -> HALT, and (b) a removed validator's key kept counting -> a safety gap.
#
# The FIX binds BOTH the quorum AND the counted-seal set to ONE well-defined set:
# eligible = currentValidators INTERSECT registry , k = |eligible|
# quorum = ceil(2k/3)
# valid = # distinct ELIGIBLE addresses whose Falcon seal verifies
# and ECDSA stays decisive (a hybrid block also needs ceil(2N/3) ECDSA seals over
# the full set N). This section models M != N and machine-checks that the fix
# removes both bugs, stays live under validator changes, and is never weaker than
# ECDSA. Every PROOF is unsat-of-negation; every claim is paired with a FIRING
# control (BUG-DEMO / NEG-CTRL) so the results are demonstrably non-vacuous.

#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) analysis of the AERE HYBRID ECDSA+Falcon committed-seal
# design: the safe migration step between today's ECDSA-only QBFT and a future
# Falcon-blocking chain. A committed block is VALID only if it carries BOTH
# (i) an ECDSA committed-seal quorum (BftCommitSealsValidationRule, native)
# (ii) a Falcon-512 quorum certificate (FalconSealValidationRule, fork-gated)
# of >= quorum(N) = ceil(2N/3) distinct valid seals each.
#
# In the shipped Besu patch the QBFT header ruleset is:
# .addRule(new BftCommitSealsValidationRule()) // ECDSA (always)
# .addRule(new FalconSealValidationRule()); // Falcon (blocking >= forkBlock)
# so "blocking mode" IS the hybrid dual-quorum: ECDSA is never removed, Falcon
# is ADDED as a second mandatory quorum. This model discharges the properties
# that make that migration step SAFE, for the live/target sizes N in {7,9,11}.
#
# Besu quorum: quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3); BFT fault bound f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
# N=7 -> q=5,f=2 N=9 -> q=6,f=2 N=11 -> q=8,f=3 N=13 -> q=9,f=4
#
# Properties (each proved by UNSAT-of-negation, each paired with a firing
# NEGATIVE CONTROL so the result is demonstrably non-vacuous):
# H1 HYBRID SAFETY two conflicting blocks cannot both be hybrid-valid
# under <= f ECDSA-equivocating AND <= f Falcon-
# equivocating faulty validators. N in {7,9,11}
# H2 EITHER-MISSING a block missing EITHER quorum is REJECTED:
# H2a ECDSA quorum present but Falcon seals < q -> invalid
# H2b Falcon quorum present but ECDSA seals < q -> invalid
# H3 MIGRATION-SAFE hybrid-valid => ecdsa-valid (SUBSET lemma): adding the
# (SUBSET) Falcon requirement can only REMOVE blocks from the
# committable set, so the hybrid chain can never accept a
# block ECDSA-only would have rejected -> "no worse than
# ECDSA-only today". This is the core migration guarantee.
# H4 HYBRID LIVENESS a block commits iff >= q validators are BOTH ECDSA-
# honest AND Falcon-correct AND online; the combined bad
# set must be <= f. At |bad|=f+1 the hybrid chain can
# STALL where ECDSA-only would not (the extra liveness
# cost of the second quorum).
#
# HONEST BOUNDARY: bounded per-N checks over N in {7,9,11(,13)}; DESIGN
# combinatorics of the dual-quorum rule, NOT the Besu Java bytecode; NOT mainnet
# (chain 2800 is classical ECDSA QBFT, N=7, no Falcon layer of any kind).
# Cryptographic soundness of Falcon-512 is out of scope (NIST KAT / precompile).

#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) proof that the AERE Falcon-512 quorum certificate in
# LOG-ONLY mode is a STRICT NO-OP on consensus: enabling it changes NEITHER any
# block hash NOR the set of committable blocks. This backs the claim
# "log-only is a true no-op, zero halt risk" (consensus-pqc/QUORUM-DESIGN.md
# sections 2 and 5: the certificate is EXCLUDED from every signed/hashed
# pre-image and NEVER gates finality before the fork block).
#
# Model of a block header (fields relevant to hashing / commit):
# parentHash, stateRoot, txRoot, number, timestamp -- the consensus payload
# ecdsaSeals -- # distinct ECDSA committed seals
# falconCert -- the Falcon quorum certificate
#
# Design facts modeled (QUORUM-DESIGN sec 2/5):
# * The HASHED pre-image (committed-seal pre-image AND on-chain block-hash
# pre-image) OMITS falconCert entirely. A header with no certificate is
# byte-identical to upstream Besu. => blockHash excludes falconCert.
# * Finality in LOG-ONLY mode is governed ONLY by ECDSA committed seals
# (>= quorum). The Falcon cert "always returns true" (never gates) before
# the fork block. => committability excludes falconCert.
#
# Assumption A2 (same as the other AERE SMT models): keccak256(abi.encode(...))
# is INJECTIVE, so two headers hash equal IFF their hashed pre-images (the
# encoded field tuples) are equal. We model the hash as an uninterpreted
# injective function of exactly the fields in the pre-image.
#
# Every property is PROVED (negation UNSAT) and paired with a NEGATIVE CONTROL
# (a buggy variant that puts the cert INSIDE the pre-image, or lets it GATE in
# log-only mode) whose violation is SAT -- proving the exclusion is load-bearing.

#
# Style follows formal-consensus/spokepool_smt.py: PROVED = negation UNSAT under the
# exact Solidity guards; each proof is paired with a firing NEGATIVE CONTROL.
#
# TARGET INVARIANTS (from the build task):
# H1 ONLY AN ACTIVE SCHEME AUTHORIZES: any successful check verifies under an id
# whose status is ACTIVE (never DEPRECATED, never REVOKED). This reduces to
# resolveActive's postcondition: it returns ONLY an ACTIVE id.
# H2 A REVOKED id AUTHORIZES NOTHING: a REVOKED id with no ACTIVE successor makes
# resolveActive revert -> the fail-closed view returns false; a REVOKED id WITH
# an ACTIVE successor routes verification to the SUCCESSOR (an ACTIVE id), so the
# revoked scheme's verifier is never the one that authorizes.
# H3 RESOLUTION TERMINATES and is FAIL-CLOSED: the successor walk halts within the
# bounded number of rows (returns ACTIVE or reverts -- even on a cycle), and any
# revert (unknown / dead-end / cycle) is caught by checkAuthorized and reported
# as false. The default+preference resolution (algorithmFor) always feeds
# resolveActive a single reference id, so the whole pipeline terminates.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED):
# A1. Registry `verify(id,...)` is itself fail-closed and only returns true for an
# id whose status is ACTIVE or DEPRECATED with a real signature (its own
# fail-closed gate + the precompile oracle -- proven separately in the halmos
# R1 suite and cryptoregistry_smt.py). Here we model the routed verifier as a
# FREE boolean the adversary controls, EXCEPT it is gated by the routed id's
# status, exactly as AereCryptoRegistry.verify does.
# A2. resolveActive's loop bound (hops 0.._count) is the source's structural bound;
# we prove the pigeonhole soundness of the SuccessorCycle revert for a
# representative registry size and the general fail-closed composition.
# A3. Design model, not compiled bytecode (the halmos suite is the bytecode layer).

#
# SMT proof (z3) of the safety properties of AereLendingMarket.liquidate()'s
# seize / clamp math and scaled-debt bookkeeping.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/lending/AereLendingMarket.sol (liquidate)
#
# The liquidation path is the richest arithmetic in the market and the one that
# moves borrower collateral to a third party, so it is the highest-value money
# surface to check. We model the exact Solidity computation (integer division,
# in 18-dec USD) and prove four safety properties, each with a NEGATIVE CONTROL
# that reproduces the corresponding real bug when the guard is removed.
#
# Solidity (decimals normalised to 18, so _scaleUp/_scaleDown are identity --
# see ASSUMPTION A1):
# valueRepaid = pay * debtPrice / 1e18
# valueToSeize = valueRepaid + valueRepaid * LIQ_BONUS_BPS / 10_000
# seize = valueToSeize * 1e18 / colPrice
# if seize > collateral: # INSOLVENT CLAMP
# seize = collateral
# valueClamped = collateral * colPrice / 1e18
# payReduced = valueClamped * 10_000 / (10_000 + LIQ_BONUS_BPS)
# pay = payReduced * 1e18 / debtPrice
#
# Properties (should all hold):
# L1 no-over-seize : seize <= collateral (after clamp)
# L2 clamp not-overpay : value(pay_clamped) <= value(all collateral seized)
# i.e. the liquidator never pays more debt-value than
# the collateral they receive is worth.
# L3 bonus to liquidator (non-clamp): valueToSeize >= valueRepaid, so the
# liquidator always receives >= what they pay.
# L4 debt no-underflow : repaidScaled (clamped to debtOf) <= debtOf, so
# debtOf -= repaidScaled and totalBorrowsScaled -=
# repaidScaled never underflow.
#
# Method: PROVED = the negation is UNSAT under the guards. NEG-CTRL = the buggy
# variant's violation is SAT (real counterexample), proving the guard is load-
# bearing and the property is not vacuous.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED):
# A1. Token decimals are normalised (both 18-dec) so _scaleUp/_scaleDown are the
# identity. AERE Wave-1 debt is USDC.e (6-dec) and collateral varies; the
# scale helpers are pure power-of-ten mul/div whose rounding is monotone and
# does not change the DIRECTION of any inequality below (down-scaling only
# shrinks the liquidator's charge, strengthening L2). Modelled at 18/18 for
# tractability; the decimal helpers are checked separately for monotonicity.
# A2. Prices are positive (oracle staleness/deviation is enforced upstream by
# AereLendingOracle and is out of scope here).
# A3. This models the DESIGN math (unbounded Ints, integer division), not EVM
# 256-bit overflow; intermediate products stay < 2**256 for realistic
# token/price magnitudes.

# SMT proof (z3) of ONLY-DESTINATION (no third-party leakage, no custody) +
# ATOMICITY (all-or-nothing, no partial move, no stranded native) for
# AereAccountMigrator, the no-custody classical-EOA -> post-quantum-account sweep.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/pqc/AereAccountMigrator.sol
#
# migrate() moves a set of ERC-20 balances (and optionally native AERE) from the
# caller straight to a caller-specified `destination`, in one hop, holding no
# custody. The safety guarantees are:
# ONLY-DESTINATION : every asset moved lands at `destination` and nowhere else;
# the migrator is never the `to`, so it never skims or holds.
# ATOMICITY : a single failing transfer reverts the WHOLE call (SafeERC20
# reverts), so a migration is all-or-nothing and can never
# leave a holder with a partially drained old account.
# NO STRANDED VALUE: moveNative=false with msg.value!=0 reverts (StrayNative), so
# native can never be stuck in the migrator (there is no
# withdraw/sweep function).
#
# We model the conservation / partial-move / native-strand cores in decidable
# integer + boolean arithmetic and prove each property by asserting its NEGATION
# and showing z3 returns UNSAT. Each NEG-CTRL removes exactly one guard and shows
# the corresponding leak/partial/strand becomes satisfiable (SAT). Amounts are
# Ints; addresses are Int identities. This checks the DESIGN-level logic, NOT the
# EVM bytecode.
#
# Guards enforced by _migrate() (all hold or it reverts, no state change):
# H1 destination != 0 (ZeroDestination)
# H2 tokens.length == amounts.length (LengthMismatch)
# H3 each token != 0, each amount != 0 (ZeroToken / ZeroAmount)
# H4 moveNative => msg.value != 0 (ZeroNative)
# H5 !moveNative => msg.value == 0 (StrayNative) <-- no-strand
# H6 every ERC-20 leg: safeTransferFrom(caller, destination, amount) (to==destination)

# SMT proof (z3) of the SAFETY invariants of AerePQCKeyRegistry, the LIVE (mainnet
# chain 2800, deployed 2026-07-12) permissionless post-quantum public-key registry
# with on-chain proof-of-possession (PoP), at address
# 0x1eCa3c5ADcBD0b22636D8672b00faC6D89363691
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/pqc/AerePQCKeyRegistry.sol
#
# Style follows formal-consensus/spokepool_smt.py (the model that surfaced the real
# SpokePool bond-accounting bug): each property is PROVED by showing the negation is
# UNSAT under the exact Solidity guards, and every proof is paired with a firing
# NEGATIVE CONTROL (a buggy variant whose violation is SAT) so the proofs are
# demonstrably non-vacuous -- the guard is load-bearing.
#
# TARGET INVARIANTS (from the build task):
# K1 PoP cannot be forged / replayed ACROSS IDENTITIES: the challenge a valid PoP
# commits to binds the owner, so a proof accepted for identity O is over a
# DIFFERENT message than the one required to register the same key under O'!=O.
# K2 PoP cannot be replayed by the SAME identity: the per-identity nonce is inside
# the challenge and advances (n -> n+1) before the key is stored, so the
# consumed proof's message differs from the next required message.
# K3 A REVOKED key NEVER verifies (verifyWithKey is fail-closed on REVOKED/NONE),
# regardless of what the precompile would return.
# K4 ROTATION preserves the OWNER BINDING: the successor key's owner equals the
# predecessor's owner (== msg.sender == old.owner), and the old key leaves
# ACTIVE (becomes ROTATED, so isActiveKey(old) is false).
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (these bound every PROVED result -- stated honestly):
# A1. SIGNATURE SOUNDNESS (out of scope, same class as the halmos precompile
# oracle): the live PQC precompile returns true for (pk, m, sig) ONLY when sig
# is a genuine signature by the holder of pk over EXACTLY m. Thus an actor who
# does not hold pk's secret cannot produce a valid sig over a message the holder
# never signed. The registry's job -- and what we prove here -- is the DOMAIN
# SEPARATION that makes the signed message identity/nonce-specific. Cryptographic
# soundness of Falcon/ML-DSA/SLH-DSA is covered by NIST KATs + live eth_call, not
# here.
# A2. keccak256(abi.encode(...)) is INJECTIVE (collision-free) -- standard EVM
# verification assumption. We model "challenge equal" as equality of the encoded
# tuple (all fields equal); K1/K2 rest on this.
# A3. Design math (this is a DESIGN model, not the compiled bytecode). The halmos
# bytecode layer (contracts/test/formal) is the complementary check.

# qbft_digest_keyed_smt.py
#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) model of the DIGEST-KEYED VOTE-TALLY fix applied to the AERE
# second-client QBFT engine on 2026-07-14 (audit Finding A). This is the fix that
# actually SHIPPED after two proposal-adoption patches were soak-rejected: instead
# of gating adoption, keep the prepare/commit tallies keyed BY DIGEST and count a
# quorum only over the CURRENT digest.
#
# THE BUG (Finding A): the tallies were flat sets keyed by voter address only. On a
# conflicting proposal that changed the current digest from D0 to D1 at the same
# (height,round), the prepares already cast for D0 stayed in the flat set and were
# then counted toward D1 -> an UNJUSTIFIED commit quorum for a block nobody prepared
# -> cross-client double-commit / fork.
#
# THE FIX: tallies are maps `digest -> voters`; `PrepareCount()`/`CommitCount()`
# count only `tally[current_digest]`. A vote cast for D0 lives under D0 and can never
# be counted toward D1.
#
# This model proves the fix removes the mis-attribution, and its NEGATIVE CONTROL
# shows the flat tally genuinely had the bug (non-vacuous). Besu quorum
# quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3), fault bound f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
# HONEST BOUNDARY: bounded per-N checks of the counting rule (message combinatorics),
# not the C# bytecode; complements the shipped fix's adversarial-soak verification
# (0 forks, Besu parity). Chain 2800 consensus is classical ECDSA QBFT.

#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) LIVENESS argument for AERE QBFT / IBFT 2.0 under PARTIAL
# SYNCHRONY (eventual GST). QBFT/IBFT is a partially-synchronous BFT protocol:
# SAFETY holds always (proven in qbft_safety_smt.py), and LIVENESS (progress) is
# guaranteed only AFTER GST, when message delays are bounded and the round
# timeout is eventually long enough for an honest proposer's block to be seen
# and committed. We model the standard round-change progress argument.
#
# Besu uses ROUND-ROBIN proposer selection: proposer(r) = r mod N over the
# ordered validator list. quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3), f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
#
# ASSUMPTION (stated honestly -- NOT proven here, it is the protocol's premise):
# PARTIAL SYNCHRONY / post-GST: after the global stabilization time, an honest
# proposer's PRE-PREPARE and the honest PREPARE/COMMIT messages all arrive
# within the (adaptively growing) round timeout. Under this premise a round
# with an honest proposer COMMITS. Asynchronous liveness is impossible (FLP);
# we do not claim it.
#
# Given that premise we MACHINE-CHECK the two combinatorial facts the liveness
# argument rests on:
# L-PROGRESS within any window of (f+1) consecutive rounds, round-robin over N
# distinct proposers hits at least one HONEST proposer (<= f faulty
# cannot cover f+1 distinct proposers). N in {4,5,7}.
# L-COMMIT an honest proposer's round commits, because the honest set alone
# (N-f) is >= quorum, so honest PREPARE+COMMIT reach quorum. (all N)
# Together: after GST, within f+1 rounds an honest proposer is elected and that
# round commits -> the chain makes progress. Liveness.
#
# NON-VACUITY: a NEGATIVE CONTROL with f+1 faulty shows a window of f+1 rounds
# can be ALL faulty proposers (no progress) -> the <= f bound is load-bearing.
#
# BOUNDARY: L-PROGRESS/L-COMMIT are bounded per-N checks (plus an unbounded
# liveness identity). The partial-synchrony premise is ASSUMED. This is the QBFT
# round-change DESIGN, not the Besu Java code.

# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) model of IBFT 2.0 ROUND-CHANGE LOCKING as it maps onto the
# AERE second-client QBFT engine (audit Findings D/E, 2026-07-14). The abstract
# locking property is already established in qbft_safety_smt.py L3 (locking=True
# safe, locking=False broken). This model is DIFFERENT: it makes the two engine
# roles explicit variables so each result maps 1:1 onto the C# code that must
# change --
# * PROPOSER policy (Finding E): AereQbftLiveEngine.ProposeBlockAtRound builds a
# FRESH block at round>0. The fix must RE-PROPOSE the value of the highest
# prepared round carried in the 2f+1 round-change certificate.
# * ACCEPTOR policy (Finding D): the engine adopts a higher-round proposal
# without checking that it is justified, and its RoundChange carries no
# prepared certificate. The fix must (a) carry the prepared certificate and
# (b) refuse to PREPARE an unjustified round>0 proposal.
#
# The model answers three engine-specific questions the abstract L3 does not:
# P2 full fix (proposer re-proposes justified + all acceptors lock) => agreement
# PROVED (no two rounds commit different values).
# P3 Besu majority saves SAFETY even if the second client proposes FRESH: when
# every ACCEPTOR locks, a fresh conflicting round>0 proposal simply cannot
# collect a prepare-quorum -> agreement still holds (PROVED). => Finding E is,
# given Besu's acceptor locking, primarily a LIVENESS cost (a wasted round),
# not a live-mainnet safety hole.
# P4 the load-bearing one: if ONE acceptor does NOT lock (the second client's
# Finding-D gap) and its vote is on the critical path, a conflicting value CAN
# reach quorum across rounds (CEX). => the second client MUST enforce
# acceptor-side locking BEFORE it can be a producing validator.
# P1 full no-lock (neither role) => CEX (non-vacuity; matches L3 NEG-CTRL).
#
# Besu quorum quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3), fault bound f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
# HONEST BOUNDARY: bounded per-N/round model checks of the locking combinatorics,
# not the C# bytecode; complements the adversarial soak. Chain 2800 consensus is
# classical ECDSA QBFT; live mainnet runs Besu (which enforces locking) only, so
# these findings gate the SECOND client's producing-validator swap, not the live
# chain.

#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) safety of the AERE Falcon-512 quorum-certificate
# ACTIVATION TRANSITION: the fork-gated switch from LOG-ONLY (additive, never
# gates) to BLOCKING (a post-fork block also needs a Falcon-512 quorum), and the
# move of the validator index->FalconPubKey registry from a GENESIS-anchored
# manifest to a CONTRACT-anchored one. Design source of truth:
# consensus-pqc/QUORUM-DESIGN.md sec 3/5/6 (FalconSealValidationRule, the
# aere.falcon.forkBlock gate: block < fork = LOG-ONLY always-true;
# block >= fork = BLOCKING requires >= quorum distinct valid Falcon seals;
# ECDSA committed seals remain the decisive safety/liveness seal throughout),
# consensus-pqc/ONCHAIN-REGISTRY-DESIGN.md (fail-closed loader: the registry
# is used only if keccak256(manifest) == the on-chain-committed anchor hash;
# any mismatch leaves the registry EMPTY so a post-fork block is rejected).
#
# This model proves the three transition properties requested, each by UNSAT of
# its negation and each paired with a deliberately-broken NEGATIVE CONTROL that
# z3 must flag SAT, so the checks are demonstrably non-vacuous (they have teeth):
#
# (a) NO SPLIT ACROSS THE ACTIVATION HEIGHT. No block valid under the pre-fork
# rule and one valid under the post-fork rule both commit at the same
# height.
# A1 the gate is a pure function of height: a single chain-wide fork
# height cannot classify one block pre and another post at the SAME
# height (so there is no mixed-rule region at the boundary).
# A2 both rules keep the DECISIVE ECDSA committed-seal quorum (neither
# regime ever waives it), and two conflicting blocks cannot both
# carry an ECDSA quorum under <= f Byzantine (bounded N=7), so
# split-freedom carries across the boundary unchanged.
#
# (b) THE TRANSITION ADDS NO CLASSICAL-ONLY HALT (pre-fork is a STRICT no-op).
# For every height below the fork the fork-gated rule is byte-for-byte the
# classical ECDSA-only rule, so no block that would commit on the pre-fork
# (ECDSA-only) chain is ever rejected by adding the Falcon layer.
#
# (c) CONTRACT-ANCHORED registry read is SAFETY-EQUIVALENT to GENESIS-anchored.
# Under injective keccak (assumption A2, shared with the other AERE models),
# the on-chain anchor pins a UNIQUE manifest (C0); the verifier outcome is a
# function of (manifest, anchor) ALONE and does not depend on WHERE the
# anchor is read from -- genesis stateRoot slot or contract storage slot
# (C1); an immutable contract anchor committing the same hash yields an
# IDENTICAL committable set (C2); and a manifest that does not match the
# committed anchor is fail-closed under either source (C3). The equivalence
# is CONDITIONAL on the contract anchor being immutable / fail-closed, and
# the two firing controls (a MUTABLE contract slot; a fail-OPEN loader) show
# both conditions are load-bearing.
#
# ASSUMPTION A2 (as in falcon_logonly_noop_smt.py): keccak256 is injective on the
# manifests in play, so equal hashes imply equal manifests. Modeled as an
# uninterpreted function with an injectivity constraint over the terms used.
#
# HONEST BOUNDARY: this is the certificate/registry DESIGN combinatorics of the
# activation transition, NOT the Besu Java bytecode, and NOT mainnet. Chain 2800
# runs classical ECDSA QBFT (N=7, f=2, quorum 5); the Falcon layer there is
# LOG-ONLY, non-gating, and carries no certificate. Activating BLOCKING and the
# contract-anchored registry is isolated-testnet R&D and remains audit-gated and
# founder-gated. A2's per-N conflict check is bounded (N=7); the fork-gate and
# registry lemmas are unbounded over the modeled variables. Cryptographic
# soundness of Falcon-512 / keccak256 is out of scope (NIST KAT + precompile).

#
# MACHINE-CHECKED (z3) model of the EXACT interop defect fixed on 2026-07-14 in
# the AERE second execution client (patched Nethermind QBFT producer), and of
# the fix that closed it. This turns a field bug + empirical soak result into a
# re-runnable formal artifact, and proves the fix is SAFE.
#
# THE DEFECT (observed against Hyperledger Besu 26.4.0 on an isolated testnet):
# Besu tallies the PREPARE quorum from EXPLICIT Prepare messages. It does NOT
# count the Proposal as an implicit Prepare from the proposer. The Nethermind
# proposer emitted a Proposal but no explicit self-Prepare, so a block it
# proposed was left one Prepare short of quorum and never committed -> the
# chain stalled. Empirically this bit ONLY at the fault boundary (kill 2 of 7,
# f=2): throughput collapsed from Besu-parity to ~1/3. THE FIX: the proposer
# now also broadcasts an explicit Prepare for its own block (round 0 and
# round>0). After the fix the mixed 3-Besu+2-NM set ran at Besu parity.
#
# Besu formulas: quorum(N)=ceil(2N/3)=fastDivCeiling(2N,3); f(N)=floor((N-1)/3).
#
# WHY THE BUG IS EXACTLY A FAULT-BOUNDARY BUG (the arithmetic this model proves):
# With D validators down and the proposer alive, the explicit Prepares available
# are (alive non-proposers) = N-D-1 under the BUGGY rule, or N-D under the FIXED
# rule (proposer adds its own). At the boundary D=f and the optimal size N=3f+1:
# alive A = N-f = 2f+1 = quorum(N)
# BUGGY count = A-1 = 2f = quorum-1 -> DEADLOCK (1 short), even all-honest
# FIXED count = A = 2f+1 = quorum -> COMMITS (exactly meets quorum)
# For D<f the buggy rule still reaches quorum, which is why the defect only
# surfaced under the kill-2 (f=2) adversarial soak, not in the healthy set.
#
# PROPERTIES (each a PROOF paired with a firing NEGATIVE CONTROL, per the
# formal-consensus/ house convention -> non-vacuous):
# P1 BUGGY RULE => GUARANTEED STALL at D=f: even with every alive validator
# honest and preparing, the explicit-Prepare count cannot reach quorum.
# (bounded per-N, PROVED unsat). Neg-control: FIXED rule same config is
# committable (SAT) -> the missing self-Prepare is the whole cause.
# P2 FIXED RULE => LIVENESS RESTORED for ALL N (UNBOUNDED, Presburger): the
# alive honest set at the boundary, N-f, is >= quorum(N). Neg-control:
# the BUGGY count N-f-1 < quorum(N) for some N (SAT) -> load-bearing.
# P3 FIXED RULE PRESERVES SAFETY: adding the proposer's single honest explicit
# Prepare (to the one value it proposed) cannot make two distinct values
# both reach quorum, under <= f equivocating Byzantine validators (bounded
# per-N, PROVED unsat). Neg-control: lowering the quorum to ceil(N/2)
# lets two values both commit (SAT) -> the quorum threshold, not the
# implicit/explicit distinction, is what carries safety; the fix is neutral
# to it.
#
# HONEST BOUNDARY:
# * P1/P3 are BOUNDED per-N checks (decision procedures over finite configs),
# P2 is an UNBOUNDED arithmetic identity over all N. None is a proof of the
# Besu/Nethermind bytecode; this models the QBFT PREPARE-counting rule and
# the round's message combinatorics. It is consistent with, and explains,
# the empirical soaks (0 forks; parity throughput after the fix).
# * Chain 2800 consensus is classical ECDSA QBFT (NOT post-quantum). This model
# is about the second-client interop, orthogonal to the Falcon layer.

# COMMIT with an equivocating Byzantine adversary, N in {4,5,7}.
# L3 CROSS-ROUND AGREEMENT (IBFT 2.0 locking / round-change justification)

# The subtle case: round changes. A value can be COMMITTED at round r only if a
# quorum COMMITs it, which requires those validators PREPARED it at r (saw a
# prepare-quorum). IBFT 2.0's round-change justification forces the proposer of a
# later round to re-propose the value of the HIGHEST prepared round; honest
# validators LOCK: they only PREPARE the highest previously-prepared value.
#
# Faithful bounded encoding, per validator i, per round r in 0..R-1:
# prep[i][r] in {0=none,1=A,2=B} -- value i broadcast PREPARE for at round r
# comm[i][r] in {0=none,1=A,2=B} -- value i broadcast COMMIT for at round r
# Derived per round r:
# preparedA[r] := (#prep==A) >= q , preparedB[r] := (#prep==B) >= q
# committedA[r]:= (#comm==A) >= q , committedB[r]:= (#comm==B) >= q
# Honest rules (Byzantine validators are UNCONSTRAINED -- may equivocate):
# (H-commit) honest commits v at r => it PREPARED v at r AND a prepare-quorum
# for v formed at r.
# (H-lock/H2')honest PREPARES v at r>0 => either NO earlier round has a
# prepare-quorum, OR v == value of the HIGHEST earlier round that
# did (the lock). [This is the IBFT 2.0 round-change justification;
# it is SOUND because a size-q round-change quorum intersects every
# earlier prepare-quorum in an honest validator (L1), which carries
# that prepared certificate forward.]

# SMT proof (z3) of the M1-FIX authorization + delta-clamp invariant of
# AereReputationRegistry8004, the ERC-8004 Reputation adapter over the LIVE
# AereAIReputation. Plus load-bearing NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the author gate (the
# M1 bug: anyone could drive a score) and for the delta clamp.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/erc8004/AereReputationRegistry8004.sol
#
# Because every caller of this adapter collapses into ONE on-chain attestor identity
# (the adapter) on the live AereAIReputation, an UNGATED write path (the pre-fix M1
# state) would let ANY address inflate or tank any agent's reputation. The M1 fix
# gates giveFeedback to an owner-curated allowlist AND keeps the existing delta clamp,
# so a forwarded attestation is authorized AND a bounded unit step, never an arbitrary
# value set. giveFeedback fail-closes on each guard (else revert, forwards nothing):
# G0 author gate (M1 fix): isAuthorizedFeedbackAuthor[msg.sender] (NotAuthorizedFeedbackAuthor)
# G1 agent registered: IDENTITY.isRegistered(agentId) (AgentNotRegistered)
# G2 delta clamp: -1 <= delta <= 1 (InvalidDelta)
# G3 adapter is attestor: REPUTATION.isAttestor(this) (AdapterNotAttestor)
# then forwards REPUTATION.attest(operator, key, delta, ...).
#
# FORWARD-SAFETY INVARIANT (the M1 target):
# a forwarded attestation happens => (author is authorized) AND (delta in {-1,0,+1})
#
# So the ONLY way this adapter moves an agent's live reputation is an authorized
# author submitting a clamped unit delta; the owner curates WHO may write but can
# neither set a reputation value directly nor exceed the clamp every author is held
# to, and moves no funds.
#
# Method: model the fail-closed guards as first-order constraints and prove each
# property by asserting its NEGATION under the guards (UNSAT). Each NEG-CTRL removes
# exactly one guard and shows the corresponding attack becomes SAT.
#
# HONEST SCOPE / OVERLAP. The authorization half of this property is also exercised
# directly by the Hardhat test "gates giveFeedback to owner-authorized feedback
# authors (M1)" in test/erc8004-adapters.test.js. The z3 value-add here is (a) proving
# the COMPOSITE invariant (authorized AND unit-clamped) is the only way a forward can
# occur, and (b) the firing negative control that reproduces the exact M1 "anyone
# drives the score" bug, showing the gate is load-bearing. The live AereAIReputation
# computes the actual score FROM the delta; this model bounds only what the adapter
# forwards (an authorized, clamped delta), not the live contract's internal score
# formula. Application-layer, no funds, consensus classical ECDSA. DESIGN-level logic,

#
# SMT proof (z3) of the SOLVENCY / NO-THEFT invariant for AereSettlementHubV2,
# the corrected settlement venue that fixes the V1 F-SWEEP griefing bug by
# tracking a per-asset `committedLiabilities` accumulator.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/settlement/AereSettlementHubV2.sol
#
# We model the per-asset accounting as an inductive transition system and prove
# the safety invariant is INDUCTIVE (base case + every op preserves it). Each
# Solidity `require`/revert is a guard; Solidity 0.8 checked arithmetic is
# modelled as "underflow reverts (no state change)".
#
# Per asset T:
# bal = IERC20(T).balanceOf(address(this)) -- real token balance
# committed = committedLiabilities[T] -- sum of every OPEN intent
# remainder + every posted
# solver bond (what the hub OWES)
#
# SOLVENCY INVARIANT (task target -- residual sweep can never touch owed funds,
# and settle()/cancelIntent() can always pay out):
# INV := bal >= committed AND committed >= 0
#
# INV => residualOf(T) = bal - committed is exactly the un-owed surplus, so a
# permissionless sweepResidual can only ever move genuine surplus (fees / un-
# flushable slashed bonds), NEVER a live intent remainder or a posted bond.
#
# Method: for each op OP, check INV(pre) AND guards AND post=OP(pre) AND
# NOT INV(post) is UNSAT. UNSAT => OP cannot break the invariant.
# Unbounded Ints = the accounting/design abstraction. Checks the DESIGN math,
# NOT the EVM bytecode.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED below):
# A1. Standard ERC20: transferFrom credits exactly `amount`, transfer debits
# exactly `amount`. Fee-on-transfer / rebasing tokens are OUT OF SCOPE
# (they would break bal>=committed for ANY escrow and are excluded by the
# asset-listing policy).
# A2. SINK is the trusted immutable AereSink; it can pull at most the approved
# amount. Its `flush` either succeeds (pulls `amount`) or reverts (pulls 0).
# A3. committed == (sum of open-intent remainders) + (sum of posted bonds) is
# the intended reading; the per-op guards below (amt<=committed portions)
# are exactly the Solidity checked-sub guards, which hold BECAUSE the item
# being removed is itself a summand of committed.

# SMT proof (z3) of the DISTINCT-KEY THRESHOLD property for AereThresholdAccount +
# AereThresholdPQCRegistry, formalising the duplicate-key finding fixed 2026-07-15.
#
# THE BUG: authorization counts distinct signers by member INDEX (the `seen` bitmask
# in _countMem / the strict DuplicateMember check). Member indices are 0..n-1, so they
# are ALWAYS distinct -- the index dedup can never fail on a real committee. Distinctness
# of the actual signing KEYS was never checked at committee registration, so the same
# public key could occupy two indices and one keyholder could fill multiple "distinct
# member" slots and reach the threshold t alone, collapsing the t-of-n guarantee.
#
# THE FIX: reject duplicate committee keys at the one place a committee is set
# (initialize / registerCommittee). Modelled here as Distinct(key).
#
# MODEL: key[i] = the id of the KEYHOLDER controlling slot i. A single keyholder h
# occupies slot i iff key[i] == h; the number of slots it can validly sign for is
# count(i: key[i] == h). "One keyholder reaches threshold" := exists h with count >= t.

# SMT proof (z3) of the VERSION-MONOTONICITY + APPEND-ONLY + committed-version and
# one-shot-receipt state invariants of AereVectorStore, verifiable semantic memory
# for AI agents. Plus load-bearing NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the attest version-bound,
# the append-only history, and the one-shot paid-query receipt.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/agentic/AereVectorStore.sol
#
# A store owner appends VERSIONED commitment roots; a retrieval provider attests
# "for this query against committed version V, resultRoot", backed on a priced store
# by a one-shot AERE402 payment receipt. The safety-critical state invariants:
# VM. VERSION MONOTONICITY. commit() sets version = s.version + 1 and s.version =
# version, so a store's version strictly increases by exactly one per commit;
# commitCount is likewise monotone.
# AO. APPEND-ONLY HISTORY. _versions[storeId] is push-only; a committed version
# entry is never rewritten or deleted (no admin, no owner override, no upgrade).
# CV. RETRIEVAL AGAINST A COMMITTED VERSION. attestRetrieval reverts unless
# 1 <= version <= s.version (UnknownVersion), so an attestation always references
# a real committed store state.
# R1. ONE-SHOT RECEIPT. On a priced store the payment receipt is consumed at most
# once (r.consumed guard, then r.consumed = true) and only by its bound provider
# (r.provider == msg.sender, the L2 fix), so a paid retrieval cannot be double-
# spent or front-run.
#
# Method: model version updates and the append relation as first-order constraints
# and prove each property by asserting its NEGATION under the real guards (UNSAT).
# The append-only history uses the standard "writes only push" relation over an
# uninterpreted index->value function (as in recovery_registry_smt / credential_
# registry_smt). Each NEG-CTRL removes exactly one guard and shows the attack becomes
# SAT. This checks the DESIGN-level state logic, NOT the compiled EVM bytecode.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED below):
# A1. Post-quantum store commit AUTHENTICITY is the Falcon-512 precompile (0x0AE1)
# verifying commitChallenge; that fail-closed PQC auth is a precompile-return
# property [VERIFY], a trusted primitive here, not re-proved (see spokepool /
# cryptoregistry models for the precompile-return checks).
# A2. paidQuery settles on the LIVE AERE402 facilitator and forwards the delta-
# measured receipt; that fund-flow is external and trusted here. This model
# covers the receipt STATE machine (one-shot + provider-bound), not the rail.
# A3. Merkle inclusion (verifyVectorInclusion / verifyResultInclusion) rests on
# keccak256 / OpenZeppelin MerkleProof soundness [VERIFY], not modelled.

# Independent, dependency-free ML-KEM-768 (FIPS 203) ENCAPSULATION oracle,
# written directly from FIPS 203 and using only Python's standard-library
# hashlib (SHA3-256, SHA3-512, SHAKE128, SHAKE256). It shares no code with
# Bouncy Castle, which is what the 0x0AE6 precompile wraps, so agreement
# between the two is real cross-implementation evidence rather than a tautology.
#
# Purpose: the ML-KEM-768 ACVP vectors in ../vectors/mlkem768_acvp.txt were
# previously only checkable by running MlKemAcvpKat.java against a patched Besu
# build. This script makes them checkable from a clean checkout with no build
# step, so an outside researcher can reproduce the claim.
#
# python mlkem768_reference.py ../vectors/mlkem768_acvp.txt [out.json]
#
# Vector line format: ek_hex|m_hex|c_hex|k_hex
# ML-KEM.Encaps_internal(ek, m) must reproduce BOTH the ciphertext c and the
# shared secret k. Checking c alone would not catch a wrong shared secret.

# Block-STM end-to-end block-production throughput (measured)
**Date:** 2026-07-13
**Module:** `parallel-executor/` (the from-scratch Rust Block-STM executor)
**Scope:** ISOLATED benchmark on a throwaway cloud box. Nothing here touches live
chain 2800, its validators, or any production node.
This does **not** make Block-STM mainnet-active; that remains a founder-supervised
fork activation. The site's honest framing ("testnet demonstration, not
mainnet-active; execution-phase win") stays intact. This report only **adds a
real, measured end-to-end number** to that framing.
---
## 0. Why this exists (the gap being closed)
The existing `bench` command times **only** the Block-STM execution phase and
reports the documented near-linear execution-phase scaling
(~1.94x / 3.61x / 6.19x / 9.38x at 2/4/8/16 workers). That is an honest
execution-phase number, but it is **not** an end-to-end block-throughput number.
A block is not finished when execution finishes; it is finished when the state is
**committed** and a **state root** is produced. Those tail phases are serial, so
by Amdahl's law the end-to-end speedup must be **lower** than the execution-phase
speedup. The site states exactly this gap:
> "this is an execution-phase win; an end-to-end throughput win still needs real
> execution-heavy load plus a parallel commit."
This report closes that gap with a real measurement: the **full pipeline**
(parallel execution + commit + state-root), parallel vs sequential, at 1/2/4/8/16
workers, across conflict ratios, with serial-equivalence checked on every run.
New reproducible harness: `aere-block-stm endtoend [gas] [ntx] [reps]`
(added to `src/main.rs`; phase timing exposed via the additive
`execute_block_parallel_split` in `src/parallel.rs`).
---
## 1. Environment (honest)
| | |
|---|---|
| Box | Throwaway cloud VM, 16 vCPU, 32 GB, Ubuntu 24.04, US region |
| CPU | 16 cores, **Thread(s)/core = 1** (no in-guest SMT), 2.0 GHz |
| Kernel / toolchain | Linux 6.8.0, rustc 1.97.0, release build (`lto=true`, `codegen-units=1`) |
| Firewall | dedicated scratch firewall, SSH restricted to operator addresses |
| Lifecycle | provisioned for this benchmark, **DELETED at end** (see §9) |
**Caveat, stated up front:** this is a **shared-vCPU** cloud box, not the
dedicated-core infra machine the original 9.38x figure was taken on. Shared vCPU
adds run-to-run variance to **absolute** timings. Mitigations: 16 single-threaded
vCPUs (so worker count maps to real cores with no hyperthread muddying), median of
7 runs, and the fact that the **headline deliverable is a ratio** (end-to-end vs
execution-phase speedup, and the serial fraction) in which shared-vCPU noise
affects numerator and denominator together and largely cancels.
---
## 2. Methodology
**Pipeline, timed in three phases** (see `endtoend()` in `src/main.rs`):
1. **exec** - Block-STM parallel execution + validation + re-execution. PARALLEL;
this is the part that scales with worker count. Timed inside
`execute_block_parallel_split` between thread spawn and join.
2. **commit** - `MvMemory::snapshot_final`: materialize the multi-version memory
into the flat committed `StateMap`. SERIAL (single-threaded, after join).
3. **root** - `keccak::state_root`: keccak256 over the sorted committed state, the
on-chain rollup commitment. SERIAL.
`end-to-end = exec + commit + root`. The **sequential baseline** is
`execute_block_sequential` (which produces the live map directly, so it has no
separate commit step) `+ state_root`. The state-root cost is identical serial work
in both numerator and denominator, i.e. a pure Amdahl serial tail.
**Workload (execution-heavy, not empty blocks).** The deterministic SplitMix64
generator emits a realistic EVM-style mix per batch: **60% ERC-20 transfers**
(two balance touches), **15% sweeps** (value-dependent), **15% shared-counter
increments** (the serializability stressor), **10% AMM swaps** (two-slot pool
conflict). Each transaction also pays a deterministic simulated EVM cost of `gas`
keccak-rounds (a stand-in for opcode/keccak/ecrecover interpreter time), so the
executor is timed doing real per-tx work rather than pure scheduling overhead.
**Conflict ratios.** `conflict_ppm` tunes how often a transaction touches the
shared hot set. Four points span the spectrum: **0%** (disjoint accounts, 64
contracts), **10%**, **50%**, and a **pathological ~100%** single-hot-slot floor.
The labelled % is the *designed* hot-touch rate; the honest *realized* conflict
indicator is the **measured abort%** in each table.
**Defaults:** `gas=80`, `ntx=20000`, median of 7 (chosen to match the regime the
documented ~9.38x execution-phase figure was taken in, so the two are directly
comparable). A gas sweep (§6) shows sensitivity.
**Serial-equivalence, checked every run.** On every single parallel run the harness
asserts the committed state equals the sequential oracle **and** the two keccak
state roots are bit-identical. A single mismatch aborts the whole run. This is the
property that makes the parallel root a valid commitment.
---
## 3. Serial-equivalence confirmation (the non-negotiable gate)
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| `cargo test --release` (7 tests incl. shared-counter serialization, 40-seed random equivalence, keccak KAT) | **7/7 PASS** |
| Correctness harness: 6 profiles x 200 batches x {1,2,4,8,16} threads | **6000 comparisons, 0 mismatches** |
| End-to-end harness inline check (state == oracle AND roots identical), every run | **140 checks, 0 mismatches** |
`RESULT: PASS -- every parallel run committed the exact sequential state + root.`
The `04-endtoend.stderr` log is empty (zero mismatch lines). Raw logs in
`endtoend-logs-2026-07-13/`.
---
## 4. Execution-phase baseline on THIS box (for comparison)
Running the existing `bench` (execution-phase only) on the same box reproduces the
documented range, confirming the box is a faithful stand-in:
| Workload | 2 | 4 | 8 | **16** (vs sequential) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-conflict (~2%) | 1.74x | 3.24x | 5.68x | **8.30x** |
| Medium-conflict (~15%) | 1.82x | 3.48x | 6.18x | **9.62x** |
| High-conflict (~80%) | 1.74x | 3.10x | 4.96x | **5.13x** |
| Pathological (all one slot) | 0.93x | 0.86x | 0.82x | **0.76x** |
(Medium-conflict vs-1-thread: 1.94x / 3.71x / 6.59x / 10.26x, matching the
documented 1.94x/3.61x/6.19x/9.38x.) These are **execution-phase** numbers.
---
## 5. END-TO-END RESULTS (the deliverable)
`gas=80`, `ntx=20000`, median of 7. `execSpd` = execution-phase speedup;
`e2eSpd` = **end-to-end** speedup (exec+commit+root) vs the sequential end-to-end
baseline. TPS is real transactions/second of the full pipeline. All rows PASS
serial-equivalence.

(Here the state is tiny, so commit+root is negligible and e2e ~= exec; the limit is
conflict, not the serial tail. 16 workers do not beat 8 under 25% aborts.)
---
## 6. The honest Amdahl boundary
**End-to-end speedup is consistently lower than execution-phase speedup.** At 16
workers, on the realistic 0-50% conflict range:
| Conflict | execSpd @16 | **e2eSpd @16** | gap |
|---|--:|--:|--:|
| 0% | 10.32x | **8.32x** | -1.9x |
| 10% | 10.06x | **9.07x** | -1.0x |
| 50% | 9.36x | **8.91x** | -0.45x |
The gap is **largest at 0% conflict** and this is the important, non-obvious
finding: the workload with the *most* execution parallelism (10.32x) has the
*least* end-to-end benefit (8.32x), because it touches the *most* state (49,637
keys), which makes the serial commit+root the largest fraction of the pipeline
(20.5% of end-to-end time at 16 workers). More parallelizable execution buys a
bigger, not smaller, serial-tail penalty, exactly the Amdahl trade.
**Serial fraction and ceiling.** With the commit+root tail fixed and only exec
scaling, the end-to-end speedup saturates at `T_seq / (serial_tail + exec_floor)`.
Measured 16-worker ceilings: **8.27x (0%), 9.64x (10%), 8.73x (50%)**. Even with
infinite cores (exec -> 0) the flat-keccak tail alone caps end-to-end at
44x / 101x / 169x respectively; the real cap is far lower because exec has its own
floor (residual serialization + thread overhead) and, in the real client, the
commit is much heavier (§7).
**Bottom line:** the honest end-to-end block-production speedup of this Rust
Block-STM executor at 16 workers is roughly **8.3x to 9.1x** on realistic
0-50%-conflict execution-heavy batches, versus the ~9.4-10.3x execution-phase
figure on the same box. The end-to-end win is real and large, but it is
**lower** than the execution-phase headline, precisely as Amdahl predicts.
---
## 7. Real end-to-end TPS, and why it does NOT reach or imply the 273k ceiling
The measured end-to-end TPS at `gas=80` (~247k-270k on realistic conflict) lands
**coincidentally** near the documented 273k architectural ceiling. It must not be read
as reaching or validating it. Two independent reasons:
**(a) TPS is entirely a function of the assumed per-tx cost.** The gas sweep at 16
workers proves the absolute number is not a fixed capability:
| per-tx cost | e2eSpd @16 (0%/10%/50%) | **end-to-end TPS @16 (0%/10%/50%)** |
|---|---|---|
| gas=20 (light) | 3.67x / 4.36x / 3.97x | **416k / 502k / 477k** |
| gas=80 (default) | 8.32x / 9.07x / 8.91x | **247k / 270k / 255k** |
| gas=200 (heavy) | 11.97x / 11.91x / 9.55x | **138k / 143k / 115k** |
Change the simulated tx weight and the harness reports TPS from ~115k to ~500k on
the same box. The `gas=80` proximity to 273k is a coincidence of one chosen
per-tx cost, not a capability ceiling. (Note the honest inverse: heavier txs give
*higher* speedup, because compute amortizes the serial tail and scheduler
overhead, but *lower* TPS; lighter txs give lower speedup but higher TPS.)
**(b) This is the rollup executor with a light commit proxy, not L1, not a real
MPT.** The state model is balances + kv slots (not full EVM), and `state_root` is
a flat keccak fold, a *lighter* commit than a real Merkle Patricia Trie. The
273k figure is a separate documented-conditions ceiling. These are different
measurements under different conditions and this report neither reaches nor
implies it.
The invariant, honest deliverable is the **speedup curve and its Amdahl bound**,
not the absolute TPS.
---
## 8. Corroboration: the real client's commit is heavier and anti-scales
The Rust `state_root` is a light proxy for the commit. The real forked client's
commit was measured separately (`aerenew/parallel/`, Besu Bonsai world-state, a
throwaway box, DELETED). Findings there, which make the end-to-end picture in the
*real* client even more conservative than this Rust harness:
- Bit-identical state roots proven four independent ways (in-JVM harness, faithful
storage-phase test, genesis-root equality, and re-import + validation of 253 real
exported blocks with zero root mismatch).
- The multi-threaded **parallel-commit** path **anti-scales**: storage-commit
scaling vs w=1 was 1.00x / ~0.8x / ~0.6x / ~0.4x / ~0.4x at w=1/2/4/8/16. More
commit threads made it **slower**. The shipped optimization is therefore a
**sequential** storage trie (faster than the fork/join parallel one), not a
parallel commit.
So in the real client the commit is not merely a fixed serial tail; parallelizing
it is counterproductive. The real-client end-to-end ceiling is thus **tighter**
than the Rust flat-keccak numbers here, not looser. Honest direction of the error
bar: down.
---
## 9. Box lifecycle
- Provisioned: a dedicated single-purpose scratch VM behind its own scratch firewall,
created solely for this benchmark.
- Live chain 2800, its validators, and all production nodes were **not** touched.
No benchmark compute ran on production infrastructure.
- **Destroyed at end of run; destruction confirmed** (see
`endtoend-logs-2026-07-13/`). The scratch firewall was also removed.

## 11. One-paragraph honest summary
The AERE Block-STM executor's ~9.4x execution-phase scaling was, until now, an
execution-phase-only measurement. Measured end-to-end (parallel execution +
serial commit + serial keccak state root) on a 16-vCPU box, under an
execution-heavy realistic transaction mix, at 0/10/50% conflict, the real
end-to-end block-production speedup at 16 workers is **~8.3x to 9.1x** - clearly
lower than the execution-phase figure, exactly by the Amdahl serial tail (commit +
state-root), which is 5-20% of pipeline time and grows with state footprint.
Serial-equivalence (parallel state and keccak root identical to sequential) held
on all 6,000 + 140 checks. The measured end-to-end TPS (~250k at gas=80) is a real
rollup-batch number for this harness and this box, swings from ~115k to ~500k as
the assumed per-tx cost changes, and is **not** the 273k documented-conditions
architectural ceiling and does not reach or imply it. This remains a testnet-grade
executor measurement; it does not make Block-STM mainnet-active on chain 2800.

# aere-block-stm
A **real Block-STM optimistic-concurrency parallel EVM-transaction executor** for
AERE, implemented from scratch in Rust with zero external dependencies.
It executes a batch of transactions across many CPU cores and commits a single
state root that is **provably identical to sequential execution** (deterministic
serializability), which is exactly what makes the resulting root a valid rollup
commitment.
Reference algorithm: Gelashvili, Spiegelman, Xiang, Danezis, Li, Malkhi, Xia,
Zhou, *"Block-STM: Scaling Blockchain Execution by Turning Ordering Curse to a
Performance Blessing"* (arXiv:2203.06871, 2022) - the same design that powers
Aptos, and the family Sui and Monad build on.
---
## Honest scope (read this first)
**What this is NOT:** this does **not** make AERE's Layer-1 base execution
parallel. AERE's L1 runs Hyperledger Besu, which executes transactions
**sequentially**. Parallelizing Besu itself would be a fork of a Java execution
client, a multi-month effort, and is explicitly out of scope here. Nothing in
this module changes how the AERE L1 mainnet executes blocks. The L1 stays
Besu-sequential.
**What this IS:** a standalone, correct, benchmarked parallel executor that
AERE's **rollup layer** can use. AERE already ships a Rollup-as-a-Service stack
(`contracts/contracts/raas/AereRaaSFactory.sol` +
`AereRollupSettlement.sol`). A rollup sequencer executes a batch of L2
transactions off-chain, computes the resulting state root, and commits it via
`AereRollupSettlement.proposeStateRoot(epoch, root, l2BlockHash)`. That batch
execution is a pure, well-defined, embarrassingly-parallelizable workload, and
it is the concrete, real path to parallel execution on AERE. This module is that
executor, wired into the sequencer (see `../rollup-sequencer/`).
So the honest one-line framing is:
> Real Block-STM parallel executor, wired into the AERE rollup sequencer; the L1
> base layer stays Besu-sequential.
---
## What it implements (the real algorithm)
- **Multi-version memory (MVMemory)** - `src/mvmemory.rs`. For every state key,
an ordered `txn_index -> cell` map. A read by txn `i` returns the write of the
highest txn `j < i`, giving each speculative execution a serial-equivalent
view. Sharded across 256 mutexes so non-conflicting txns never contend.
- **Read-set / write-set tracking** - `src/parallel.rs`. Each execution records
exactly what it read (and the version it read) and what it wrote.
- **Dynamic dependency detection** - a read that hits an `ESTIMATE` placeholder
(left by a lower txn that is currently being re-executed) aborts the reader and
parks it on the blocking txn; it is re-armed when the blocker finishes. No
static dependency analysis, no condvars.
- **Abort + re-execution** - `src/scheduler.rs`. Collaborative validation:
validating txn `i` re-checks its read set against current MVMemory; on mismatch
it is aborted, its incarnation bumped, its writes turned into ESTIMATEs, and it
is rescheduled. Cursors are decreased so the affected suffix is revalidated.
- **Serial-equivalent commit** - the block is done only when every txn has been
validated against the final memory. The committed state provably equals
sequential execution.
- **State model** - account balances + a key/value contract store
(`src/types.rs`), with genuine EVM-style transactions whose control flow and
written *values* depend on reads: `Transfer`, `Sweep` (value-dependent),
`Increment` (the canonical shared-counter serializability probe), and
`AmmSwap` (two-slot DeFi pool conflict).
- **keccak256 state root** - `src/keccak.rs`, a from-scratch keccak256 (verified
against known-answer vectors) folds the final state into a real,
EVM-compatible 32-byte root for on-chain commitment.
Zero external crates: the scheduler, MVMemory, PRNG and keccak are all built on
`std`. Build is fully offline and reproducible ($0).
---
## Correctness guarantee (the hard part, proven)
The whole point of Block-STM is that the parallel result **must** equal
sequential execution. Both paths call the exact same transaction-semantics
function (`src/vm.rs::execute_txn`), so any divergence can only come from a
concurrency-control bug. The harness proves there are none:
```
cargo run --release -- harness
```
runs 6 workload profiles x 200 randomized batches x {1,2,4,8,16} threads =
**6000 comparisons** (1200 distinct randomized batches), and asserts the
Block-STM committed state equals the sequential oracle for every one. Profiles
include adversarial 100%-conflict cases (`all-hot`, `brutal-single-counter`).
Result:
```
total (batch x threads) comparisons: 6000
mismatches : 0
RESULT: PASS -- parallel Block-STM == sequential on ALL cases
```
`cargo test --release` additionally checks:
- `shared_counter_is_serialized`: 500 txns all incrementing one slot yield
exactly 500 at 1/2/4/8/16 threads (naive parallelism would lose updates).
- `parallel_equals_sequential_random`: 40 seeds x 4 thread counts.
- `keccak_known_answer`: keccak256("") and keccak256("abc") match the standard
vectors.

## Measured speedup (honest numbers)
Measured on the AERE infra box: **16 physical cores**, Linux 6.8, Rust 1.96.
20,000 transactions per batch, each carrying a realistic simulated EVM execution
cost (`gas = 80` keccak-rounds, a stand-in for the microseconds a real EVM tx
spends in the interpreter). Speedup is versus the single-threaded **sequential**
oracle. Median of 7 runs.
| Workload | 2 cores | 4 cores | 8 cores | 16 cores | abort % @16 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-conflict (~2% hot-touch) | 1.78x | 3.22x | 5.71x | **8.59x** | 0.3% |
| Medium-conflict (~15%) | 1.87x | 3.54x | 6.24x | **9.31x** | 1.9% |
| High-conflict (single hot counter, 15% of txns) | 1.70x | 3.04x | 4.87x | **4.62x** | 24% |
| Pathological (EVERY tx hits ONE slot) | 0.85x | 0.85x | 0.82x | **0.73x** | 19% |
Honest reading of these numbers:
- Low/medium-conflict batches scale nearly linearly: **~8.6-9.3x on 16 cores**.
- The high-conflict batch still gets ~4.6x because only ~15% of its
transactions touch the single hot slot; the rest are independent transfers.
- The **pathological** batch (every transaction increments the same slot) has
**zero available parallelism**. Block-STM correctly serializes it and is
actually *slower* than sequential (0.73x) because it pays for aborted
speculation. This is the expected, honest worst case: parallelism collapses
under total conflict, and no correct parallel executor can beat sequential
when there is nothing to parallelize.
There is also an honest floor case worth stating: if transactions do
near-**zero** compute (`gas = 0`), the concurrency-control overhead dominates and
the parallel executor is slower than sequential. That is why the benchmark
charges each transaction a realistic execution cost - real EVM transactions are
compute-heavy (opcode interpretation, keccak, ecrecover), which is precisely the
regime Block-STM is designed for. Run `bench 0` to see the floor, `bench 200`
for heavier txs.
Reproduce:
```
cargo run --release -- bench # gas=80, 20k txns (default)
cargo run --release -- bench 200 # heavier txs
cargo run --release -- bench 0 # trivial txs: scheduler-overhead floor
```
---
## Sequencer integration
The rollup sequencer calls the `execute` subcommand (a JSON-out CLI) with a batch
and gets back a self-checked keccak256 state root to commit on-chain. See
`../rollup-sequencer/README.md` and `../rollup-sequencer/src/blockstm/` for the
TypeScript wrapper and the exact `proposeStateRoot` flow. The library API
(`execute_block_parallel`, `execute_block_sequential`, `state_root`) is also
usable directly from Rust.
Every `execute` run computes the batch **both** sequentially and in parallel and
refuses to emit a root unless they match (`parallelEqualsSequential: true`), so a
concurrency bug can never silently produce a bad rollup commitment.

HONEST READING:
- execSpd is the EXECUTION-PHASE speedup (comparable to the documented ~9.4x).
- e2eSpd is the END-TO-END block-production speedup. It is LOWER, because the
commit (state materialization) and state-root (keccak) phases are serial and
do not shrink with more workers -- the Amdahl serial tail.
- TPS is the real end-to-end transactions/second of THIS pipeline on THIS box
(shared-vCPU cloud). It is a measured rollup-batch number, NOT the 273k TPS
documented-conditions marketing ceiling and does not reach or imply it.
- Under total conflict (pathological) there is no parallelism; end-to-end can be
<= 1x. That is the correct, honest behavior of Block-STM.

HONEST READING:
- execSpd is the EXECUTION-PHASE speedup (comparable to the documented ~9.4x).
- e2eSpd is the END-TO-END block-production speedup. It is LOWER, because the
commit (state materialization) and state-root (keccak) phases are serial and
do not shrink with more workers -- the Amdahl serial tail.
- TPS is the real end-to-end transactions/second of THIS pipeline on THIS box
(shared-vCPU cloud). It is a measured rollup-batch number, NOT the 273k TPS
documented-conditions marketing ceiling and does not reach or imply it.
- Under total conflict (pathological) there is no parallelism; end-to-end can be
<= 1x. That is the correct, honest behavior of Block-STM.

//! Hyperledger Besu, which executes transactions sequentially; parallelizing
//! Besu itself is a Java execution-client fork and is out of scope here.
//!
//! What this IS: a standalone, correct, benchmarked parallel EVM-style
//! transaction executor that AERE's ROLLUP layer (AereRaaSFactory /
//! AereRollupSettlement / the rollup sequencer) can call to execute a batch of
//! rollup transactions across many CPU cores and commit a single state root.
//! The committed result is provably identical to sequential execution
//! (serializability), which is exactly what makes the resulting state root a
//! valid rollup commitment.
//!
//! Public API
//! ----------
//! - [`sequential::execute_block_sequential`] -- the reference/oracle.
//! - [`parallel::execute_block_parallel`] -- the Block-STM executor.
//! - [`keccak::state_root`] -- keccak256 commitment over a final state.

//! Multi-version shared memory (MVMemory).
//!
//! For every `Key`, MVMemory keeps an ordered map `txn_index -> cell`, where a
//! cell is either a concrete `Value` written by that transaction's latest
//! incarnation, or an `Estimate` placeholder (a marker that a lower transaction
//! *previously* wrote here but is currently being re-executed, so its value is
//! not trustworthy).
//!
//! A read by transaction `i` for key `k` returns the entry of the HIGHEST
//! transaction `j < i` that wrote `k`. That is what makes speculative parallel
//! execution serial-equivalent: transaction `i` always observes the writes of
//! all lower-indexed transactions that have run, and nothing from higher ones.
//!
//! Storage is sharded across many independent mutexes keyed by a hash of the
//! `Key`, so non-conflicting transactions touch disjoint locks and run without
//! contention. Hot keys (the counter, the AMM pool) serialize on one shard,
//! which is exactly the honest source of the high-conflict slowdown.

//! PERFECT predicted soft-dependencies (theoretical upper bound of a predictive
//! scheduler).
//!
//! MOTIVATION
//! ----------
//! Block-STM discovers conflicts *dynamically*: a transaction executes
//! optimistically, and only when validation catches a stale read does it abort
//! and re-execute. Aborts are wasted work. A "predictive scheduler" tries to
//! avoid that waste by predicting conflicts up front and pre-ordering / parking
//! conflicting transactions so their first execution already sees the right
//! values.
//!
//! The open question is how much headroom such a predictor could ever buy. To
//! answer it we cheat in the predictor's favor: we compute the EXACT read/write
//! sets from the real serial execution of the batch, so the prediction is
//! PERFECT. Any real predictor (static analysis, access-list hints, a learned
//! model) is strictly worse than this oracle, so the abort-rate reduction and
//! wall-time delta measured here are an UPPER BOUND on what prediction can do.
//!
//! ADVISORY-ONLY (correctness invariant)
//! -------------------------------------
//! The predicted predecessors are used ONLY to decide *when* to (re-)attempt a
//! transaction's first execution -- i.e. to pre-park it behind conflicting
//! lower-index transactions. They never gate the committed result: the ordinary
//! Block-STM read-set validation still runs and is the sole authority on
//! correctness. If a prediction is wrong (or, in a real deployment, merely
//! approximate) the worst that can happen is a transaction executes too early
//! and aborts exactly as it would have without any prediction. Predictions can
//! therefore NEVER produce an incorrect state root; at worst they fail to help.
//!
//! WHY THE HIGHEST PRIOR WRITER PER READ KEY IS SUFFICIENT
//! ------------------------------------------------------
//! A Block-STM validation abort is caused by a READ whose provenance changed:
//! the transaction read some key `k` and the value it observed was later
//! superseded by a lower-index write. In the true serial order the value of `k`
//! that transaction `i` must observe is written by the HIGHEST-index transaction
//! `j < i` that writes `k`. If every such `j` (over all keys `i` reads) has
//! already reached `Executed` before `i` first runs, then `i`'s reads all resolve
//! to their final serial values and `i` cannot be validation-aborted. So the
//! minimal perfect predecessor set for `i` is exactly
//! { last_writer(k) : k in reads(i) }.
//! Parking `i` behind the maximum still-pending member of that set, re-checking
//! each time it is resumed, guarantees all of them are `Executed` before `i`
//! runs. This is what [`compute_predicted_preds`] returns.

//! The Block-STM collaborative scheduler (Gelashvili et al. 2022, Algorithm 3).
//!
//! It hands out two kinds of task to a pool of worker threads:
//! - EXECUTION tasks: run incarnation `k` of transaction `i`.
//! - VALIDATION tasks: re-check that an already-executed transaction's read
//! set is still valid against current MVMemory.
//!
//! Two monotone-ish cursors drive it: `execution_idx` and `validation_idx`.
//! Validation of a lower index always takes priority over execution of a higher
//! one. When a transaction aborts (validation fails) or writes a new path, the
//! relevant cursor is *decreased* so the affected range is revisited. The block
//! is done when both cursors have passed the end AND no task is in flight AND no
//! decrease happened during the check.
//!
//! Dependencies are handled WITHOUT condvars: when execution of `i` reads an
//! ESTIMATE from `j`, `i` is parked on `j`'s dependency list and its task is
//! dropped; when `j` finishes it re-arms `i` (ReadyToExecute) and decreases
//! `execution_idx` so a worker re-picks it.
//!
//! Correctness of this module is not asserted by inspection -- it is proven
//! empirically by the harness, which runs thousands of adversarial, conflicting
//! batches and checks that the committed state equals the sequential oracle.

# pq-finality-circuit
The off-chain research core of the Aere Network Post-Quantum Finality Certificate
(research item #4).
## What is here
`xmss-verify-core/` is the IMPLEMENTED and TESTED per-validator VERIFICATION CORE: an
RFC 8391 XMSS-SHA2_10_256 hash-based signature verifier (WOTS+ one-time signature plus
the XMSS Merkle authentication-path check that recovers the root public key). It is the
exact inner computation the aggregation zkVM guest runs for each validator. It is
`no_std`, allocation-free, float-free, hash-only, deterministic, and has ZERO external
dependencies, so it tests fully offline.
It is validated against the OFFICIAL github.com/XMSS/xmss-reference known-answer vector
committed at `../../contracts/test/fixtures/xmss-sha2_10_256-kat.json`, the same vector
the deployed on-chain `AereXmssVerifier.sol` uses.
## Run the test
```
cd xmss-verify-core
cargo test --offline
```
Expected: 12 tests pass. The genuine official signature verifies (recovers the official
root); every tamper (WOTS+ value, checksum chain, auth node, message, leaf index,
claimed root, R randomizer) fails; and the bundled SHA-256 matches FIPS 180-4.
## Regenerate the test vector
```
node scripts/gen_vectors.mjs
```
Reads the committed official KAT JSON and rewrites `xmss-verify-core/src/vectors.rs`, so
the Rust vector is provably derived from the official fixture with no hand transcription.
## Honest scope
- IMPLEMENTED and TESTED: the verification core (this crate).
- NOT implemented, `[MEASURE]`, multi-week specialist work: the full zkVM aggregation
guest, the SP1 proving pipeline, and the end-to-end certificate.
- UNCHANGED and fail-closed: the on-chain verifier and registry under
`../../contracts/contracts/pqfinality/`.
This is the ADDITIVE post-quantum finality-attestation read path. Aere consensus stays
classical ECDSA QBFT. Post-quantum finality is NOT live end to end.
Full design and effort estimate: `../../docs/AERE-XMSS-AGGREGATION-CIRCUIT.md`.

//! RFC 8391 XMSS-SHA2_10_256 signature VERIFICATION core.
//!
//! This is the exact inner computation the Post-Quantum Finality aggregation zkVM
//! guest runs PER VALIDATOR: recover a validator's long-term XMSS root from one
//! hash-based signature over the domain-bound block message. A validator's
//! attestation is VALID iff the recovered root equals the root the registry
//! committed for that validator.
//!
//! Parameter set XMSS-SHA2_10_256 (RFC 8391 OID 0x00000001):
//! n = 32 (SHA-256), Winternitz w = 16, len = 67 chains, single tree height h = 10.
//!
//! It is a byte-for-byte model of the already-validated on-chain
//! `AereXmssVerifier.sol` and its independent JS oracle
//! (`contracts/test/xmssVerifier.test.js`), which are checked against the official
//! github.com/XMSS/xmss-reference known-answer vector. Deterministic, `no_std`,
//! allocation-free, float-free, hash-only: exactly the shape a zkVM circuit needs.
//!
//! RFC 8391 keyed hash toolbox (padding_len = n = 32):
//! F(KEY, M) = SHA256( toByte(0,32) || KEY || M )

// Standalone (no-Besu-classpath) copy of the BabyBear field + degree-4 extension arithmetic used by
// the PQ STARK-verify precompile 0x0AE8, plus a self-test. It is a verbatim mirror of the
// Sp1StarkVerifierPrecompiledContract.BabyBear / BabyBearExt4 logic (same P, same W, same reduction),
// compilable and runnable without the Besu EVM jars so the field layer can be exercised offline and
// cross-checked against the Python and Node references.
//
// HONEST SCOPE. This is field arithmetic, the FOUNDATION component (a) of the six-component STARK
// port (docs/AERE-STARK-VERIFIER-PORT-SPEC.md section 2). It verifies NOTHING about a real proof;
// the top-level 0x0AE8 precompile stays fail-closed. GENERATOR = 31 and W = 11 are proven here to be
// a real generator and a real non-residue (so F_{p^4} is a field), but that they are Plonky3's exact
// chosen constants is [VERIFY] against p3-baby-bear at the pinned SP1 v6.1.0 revision.
//
// Usage:
// javac -d out BabyBearFieldSelfTest.java
// java -cp out BabyBearFieldSelfTest # run the self-test (prints PASS/FAIL counts)
